Update on 1st Century Sarmatian Weapons
#98
Yes, Recurve bows had been introduced to the West via the Sarmatians and were used extensively by the Romans in the 3rd Century onwards. Hunnic domination of Germania would also introduce them there.

The Ring-pommel blade is also a steppe influence, but they disappear in the 3rd century AD.
