Ave Civitas,
This is related to the question concerning the Taifali.
I am, as I explained, researching a portion of my novel that concerns with the Danubian Goths.
Their neighbors (in what is now western Hungary) were the Sarmatians.
The Sarmatians were a horse people, however, they had a subservient tribe who called themselves the Limigantes who were their infantry.
Does anyone have information concerning the Limigantes or have sources they can point me toward?
In particular, I would like to know their language (was it different from the Germanic Sarmatian language?) -- About their clothing and weapons. -- About their tactics on the field. -- How were they employed when fighting with the Sarmatians?
Thanks again. you guys are, as always a great source of information.
me.
