Show here your Sarmatian warrior impression

[Dain II.]

The splint greaves got a bit of flack from some RAT members; but since the Scythians and Huns wore them, I believe the Sarmatians used them also... being sandwiched between both cultures.

Hm, I only know of the Nymphaion find as source for scythian time greaves of laced bronzelamellae. The next find in time I know of is the find from Valsgaarde from vendel era in Sweden, which consists of two greaves and one vambrace of partial decorated iron strips riveted to leather bands with bronze rivets and are extended with mail for the hand and the feet. And the depiction of an Avar, Bolgar or Chasar at the medailon-flagon number 2 from the hoard of Nagyszentmiklos/ Sannicolau Mare. Both are dated to mid 7th century.

So which evidence do you mean when you state that the Huns have used them too? Did I miss something?

kind regards
