Show here your Sarmatian warrior impression

Hi Alan,

I haven't looked at the Osprey book on late Roman cavalry for a while, but remember liking the text but feeling the illustrations of late Roman cavalry were all rather early 6th century. But on reflection since the book largely dealt with the cavalry of the Justinian period, the illustrations were good and book title perhaps a little unclear.

I think we can asume splint armour was around in the early 6th century based on the probably earlier date for parts of Maurice. This is pre Avar, and I hope Robert can forgive meConfusedmile:

I do enjoy re-creating steppe and Sarmation equipment. In terms of recreating a 1st century auxillary I suspect that after a few months ethnic styles of clothing and footwear would have worn out and be replaced with Roman styles of clothing.Over the years Sarmation defensive armour would also fade away to be replaced by standard Roman issue helmets etc. But tattoos would remain, perhaps with other less obvious signs of ethnicity.

This is an interesting thread. Let us keep it going.
