I'm not in love with it either, but it is an interesting note, and apropos of our months ago discussion. I remembered something about a large contingent of...

I'm not sure it's right to characterise Sarmatian cavalry as horse-archers. They seem to have carried a light and only short-range bow and relied mainly on...
