Alani Mounted Tribesmen
The Alani way of life, carried on their broad shoulders.There was no more important element in nomadic armies than the horse. Indeed, it was crucial not only to their strength in battle but also to their survival as a culture. The Sarmatians and Alani kept up to four horses per man, so that each day a fresh horse could be used. The horses they bred, and the men who rode them, were strong and determined, and used their numbers to overwhelm the enemy. Although nomads were known for their skill at horse archery, the Sarmatians and Alans in particular were fond of heavy shock tactics; running down their enemies with sword or lance before they could organise their defence. The nomads' sheer ferocity in battle meant that not only were they a terror to enemy foot soldiers, but contemporary heavy cavalrymen also.
