Sarmatian Cavalry

[Robert Vermaat]

I doubt the trend will change until the public (and students) realize that ealry steppe cultures gave us more relevant and lasting traditions than the Romans did.

I assume you are referring to that windsock they place next to bridges, or the invention of horseriding, breeding cattle perhaps or such trivial matters as the wheel.
Because, if none of these were really invented by steppe cultures, I think the Romans left us with a great deal more 'lasting traditions', such as the originins of Law, the road system as we know it, the arch, town planning, canal building, aquaduct technology (did I mention concrete yet?), military organisation, Asterix comics, the cross, ehm... What have the Romans ever done for us??
