Off the top of my head, the first Roman literary reference to stirrups is in the Strategikon, from the late 6th century. And the first archaeological evidence is of Avar Stirrups in the early 6th century. Some authors have argued that leather stirrups may have predated metal ones, and wouldn't be preserved.
