Why did the heaviest cavalry of antiquity fail against horsebows? Great battles and world history in a new documentary about the Alans.
In 373 AD, on the banks of the Tanais (Don), tradition clashed with a new style of warfare. In this video, we analyze the military strategy of the Huns, the superiority of their asymmetric composite bow, and the disintegration of the Alanic tribal confederation. Learn how infantry tactics and heavy armored cavalry charges were rendered useless by hit-and-run attacks. We shed light on the forgotten conflicts on Rome's borders and the psychological warfare that drove an entire nation into exile. A deep dive into the beginning of the Migration Period.
