Update on 1st Century Sarmatian Weapons
#81
Hello, Folkert

I don't agree with Simonenko on Hunnic bows. On the Orlat Battle plaque, we see to opposing sides using Hunnic bows. If one side might have been Huns, then why are all the enemies aslo using the same bow with siyahs? Don't make sense. Also, bows have always been an archaeological problem. Also, the Hunnic/Roman bows found in Wales were early second century. So, how did they spread so wickedly fast... bypassing the Sarmatians? :woot:

Simonenko dropped the ball on this one. :whistle:
