Quote:The Huns used Sassanian swords, just saying. The art style influenced the Germanic swords, not the actual construction and blade typology, which was exclusively Roman in origin.

You note the Huns used Sassanian swords. This contradicts Botalov's paper which lumps Sarmatian and Hunnic swords in the same pile, sort of speaking. I'm inclined to think you're correct, and I see no connection between Hunnic swords and the Sarmatian versions which influenced the Chinese, who then influenced or improved the design. Escobar mentions an "authority" who claims the Saka and Sarmatians were wholly influenced by the Chinese. No so. It was a two-way street. :whistle:
