Greetings Alanus and Conal
I ve heard of the Aquitanian Breton link before. Totally unsurprised by it because the coastal trade Galicia to Brittany seems to have been really very substantial, even in the Greek era. Everything from kasitterite to garum..succinite too. Punic connections in all that too!
When you talk about Celto Alannic links, dont forget that Capadoccia too had a very large Celtic province. This all formed part of Mihthridates Eupator's Pontic Empire and Sarmatians, I seem to recall, were important alies in his wars..at different, if not all, times. There has, one can be sure, always been a link, if only that between user and armourer!
Yes Alanus..age is a real t**t. Memory goes and red wine dont 'elp,
