Wagon Rafts & Pontoons

Horses may be able to swim, wagons cannot.

As a nomadic people, the Huns were accustomed to regularly crossing the variable steppe terrain during their twice-yearly migrations. The Roman diplomat Priscus, who spent time at Attila's court, wrote that the Huns carried rafts or pontoons on their wagons to allow them to cross marshy ground. Sadly, he didn’t go in to detail regarding the materials used, however we can assume that they would have been light and easy to manoeuvre. Of course, carrying anything substantial would have slowed the Huns down, so it is likely that the rafts were made up of a combination of wood, wickerwork and hides.
