I don't think you would have necessarily gone through Italy to finally be sailed to Britain. From Pannonia, they may have gone through the Roman sphere along Raetia, across the Jura pass in northern France. The supposition has been held by Littleton and Malcor ( :whistle: ) that Iazyges were so populous in Britain they retained their cultural memory into the 5th century, giving us the (non)historical basis for "King Arthur"... a totally legendary person. Strange, at least for "scholars," that Littleton and Malcor were completely unaware of the later Equites Taifali and Cataphractarii sent into Britain in the late 390s. :dizzy:
