Horse Pens

The noble horse has much to teach us.

Horses played an important role in Celtic society, both spiritually and practically. Many Roman writers freely admitted that the Celts were excellent horsemen, and they went as far as calling Celtic mercenaries the best cavalry in the Roman army. The Romans even adopted a Celtic deity in the hope that she would bestow the equine knowledge and skill of the Celts upon Rome. Epona is one of very few deities to be accepted into the Roman pantheon without change, although her role did develop over time. Eventually, she provided protection for all those who worked with horses and not just the animals themselves. She was a popular deity among the Roman cavalry, and her cult spread across Europe wherever the Romans had cavalry garrisons.

1	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Scy_reform_horse_archers) Skytho-Sauromatai Hippotoxotai (Scytho-Sarmatian Horse Archers) As the Scythians progressively fall under Sarmatian influence, they adopt the equipment of their enemies. The Sarmatised" Scythian kontos bearers are a pure product of this evolution. They still use close-combat weapons and their bow as the main armament in any occasion."

2	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Scy_reform_mounted_peltasts) Skytho-Sauromatai Hippopeltastai (Scytho-Sarmatian Mounted Peltasts) Although the horse archer is the backbone of any nomadic army, mounted javelineers are used as well, mostly in close quarters on rough terrain, in ambushes and night raids. Scythian and Sarmatian heavy mounted skirmishers carry large shields, a bunch of javelins, and leather and scale armour. They are skilled and can also fight dismounted with various weapons, but the most common are the sagaris battle-axe and the akinakes.

3	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Ste_Armoured_Lancers) Aeldary Aembaltae (Sarmatian Bodyguard Cavalry) The retainers of a Sarmatian warlord of the royal family have, like their master, access to the very best in terms of arms, armour and horses. However, not even a Sarmatian prince may afford keeping a large retinue and hence, these select warriors are few in number.

4	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Ste_Lancers) Rauxsa-alanna Baexdzhyntae (Roxolani Armoured Lancers) Lancers represent a shift of emphasis in Sarmatian warfare from mounted archery and attrition towards furious charges and shock combat. Equipped with the kontos, a long lance over 4 m long that they wield two-handed, and wearing good scale armour, Roxolani riders can deliver a charge that few foes, mounted or on foot, can withstand.

5	120	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Ste_Sarmatian_Riders) Assa Barai (Saka Riders) These Saka riders are armed with a recurved composite bow as their primary weapon and a spear as a secondary weapon. In addition, they carry leather armour and wickerwork shields, being slightly better armed than the majority of the tribesmen.

6	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Ste_Scythian_Royal_Skirmishers) Aursa Baexdzhyntae (Aorsoi Riders) The Aorsoi are one of several major Sarmatian groups. Aorsoi riders are first and foremost horse archers, but on average, Aorsoi tribesmen are somewhat better-equipped than their counterparts from other Sarmatian tribes. Thus, they often wear a measure of simple armour and tend to carry spears in addition to their bows.
