Notes and literature cited

  • ‘During the course of the Pannonian campaign, Marcus Aurelius defeated the barbarian Sarmatian tribe in A.D. 175. The Sarmatians were unique for their time in that their military forces consisted of heavily armored cavalry rather than foot soldiers or light-armed horsemen. Soon after defeating the Sarmatians, Marcus Aurelius dispatched several thousand captive Sarmatian warriors to Britannia, where they were attached as auxiliaries to Legion VI Victris. ... Artorius Castus accompanied the Sarmatian cavalrymen to Britannia as their first Roman commander.... for generation after generation the Artorii remained in Britannia, serving in the Army and maintaining strong ties to the Sarmatian cavalry. Arthur of the Fifth Century was without a doubt the descendant of Lucius Artorius Castus of the Second Century, and Arthur’s full Roman name was certainly also Lucius Artorius Castus.’ (Vol. I, pp. 161–163).
