Historical background
The Alans were Iranian-speaking horse nomads whom Ammianus Marcellinus describes as tall, handsome and warlike. They fought as light horse archers and as armoured lancers. From AD 406 many of them moved with the Vandals through Gaul and Spain to North Africa, while others served Rome as allies.
