Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[Boom]

this is my first post here ! sorry to dig up an old post to reply but I see this wrong idea being repeated everywhere.

(Interesting but off-topic: the deer is also heavily depicted in post-Buddhain northern India, and it has been suggested that the Buddha, who was called Sakamuni, "sage of the Sakas," may have come from a Saka steppe tribe. Not my suggestion, but curious. hock: )

Buddha was called sakya-muni (the sakya sage).the sakya's (pronounced sak-koh ) were a ruling tribe that lived in eastern India, currently on the borders of Nepal and the Indian state of Bihar. it has nothing to do with the central asian tribe saka. the sakas do not appear in Indian literature for 400 years until after Buddha's death.
