Western Separatists (The Last Roman) Melee Cavalry

Taifali Cavalry

Possibly an eastern Germanic or even Sarmatian people, the Taifali followed the Gothic king, Cniva, on his campaigns in Moesia and Dacia during the 3rd century AD. Coming into contact with the Roman Empire, they soon became famous for their excellent horsemen. Having been defeated by the Emperor Constantine, the Taifali continued to harass their oppressors until finally pacified around AD336. However, this did not lead to their automatic absorption into the Roman Empire, and those Taifali who chose not to resettle within its boundaries became self-governing allies of Rome. This may have been due to perceived difficulties in successfully governing such a harsh, mountainous region, or because the Romans needed a buffer against an increasing number of incursions by the marauding steppe nomads.
