Roxolani = Russians?

[Alanus]

Speaking of Huns, I was reading that Procopius often refers to the Huns as Massagetae.

In his tomes, Procopius uses "Huns" and "Massagetae" almost interchangeably. He was actually referring to the White Huns, not the earlier Black Huns (the Atilla Huns). The White Huns lived to the south-east, and I believe the Avars were a sub-tribe under them. (At least that's the way I portrayed them in The Demon's Door Bolt. I also placed the Magyars upon the steppes just below the Urals, since the novel takes place in the year 499.) :unsure:
