EB Preview :: Lusotannan

[keravnos]

I think horse armor fragments have been found in Iberia. Which means that either Romani used Cataphracts to subdue the Iberian peoples, and especially the Lusotan, or that Lusotann used them for their own. With Qarthadastim and Hellenic influence being really high and the quality of horses found in Lusotann, it is a logical evolution, backed by facts on the ground.
Besides, why would the Roman empire station troops in Hispania province so many hundreds of Kilometers behind its borders? For a vacation?
It is not just plain luck that the first Roman emperor thatwas born outside of Italia, which is also the best Roman emperor in my view. TRAJAN. He was from the iberian peninsula.
