These horses arrived with the Vandal/Alan group that entered France from Pannonia on the last day of 406. They then moved into Spain, a number of Alans remaining behind and not crossing over to Africa.
Why would they not have entered the Empire before that? Alans and before them Sarmatians had been settled within the borders, and used as federates as well. Would these all have been supplied by the Roman army?
