Sarmatian-Alanic Horsebows of the pre-Hunnic era
#1
I am wondering if anyone in RAT has any information on pre-Hunnic horsebows, especially their configuation. My specific interest is the Alanic migration period, basically that described by Ammianus Marcellinus, not the old Scythian bows which were shorter, or the Hunnic bows which were asymetrical.

Looking for a reply if possible.
