Historical background
The Sarmatians, Iranian-speaking horse nomads, ruled the steppes between the Don and the Danube from the 3rd century BC; the Iazyges, Roxolani and Alans were among them. They fought as armoured lancers and as horse archers. After the Marcomannic Wars Marcus Aurelius sent Sarmatian horsemen to serve in Britain in AD 175.
