Quote:True. One steppe tribe on the Hungarian Plain was replaced by another. Hard to know Marcus Aurelius' reasoning. Certainly not munificence, but probably placation, reestablishing the link to steppe-oriented trade goods. If Aurelius was such an "understanding" emperor, he had a strange way of showing it in Gaul... where he let officals stake Blandina to the "beasts." :whistle:
If I'm correct it was the Iazyges -> Roxolani -> Taifali -> Goths -> Huns -> Gepids/Avars right?
