Reviewing some of what we've discussed earlier, I ran across an interesting quote by Robert: 'There are 300-400 years between the move of Sarmatians to Britain and the "Age of Arthur". '
Since the Samatian calvary unit in question arrived in the third century and the hypothetical proto-Arthur may have lived in the late fifth or early century, the gap--while still large--is not quite so bad. And when was the Digitam Notarium--no, that's not right. Help me--weren't the Ribochester "veterans" part of the circumstantial "evidence"?
Off topic: I'm having knee surgery this morning and will be off-line for a few days (only, I hope). Thanks for the stimulating conversations. It's been very helpful.
