Hmm duly noted, expect to see some the ois soon(when I can be bothered to go through and edit the text
)
Hmm I always just assumed that the thematic inspiration for Sauromatia came from the Dacians (west/north? of Byzantium and completely wiped out by the Romans, also some contact with the greeks... My classical history isn't as good as I wish it was) but I can't remember any referance to stepped culture, and apparently the amazons were supposed to be around Russia. Ah now I'm thinking about it, maybe I should just keep taking it for granted and add the ois... any names with historical reference seem to be greeked (grecinised?) anyway :P
