While researching background information for Armenia, Parthia and Sassan, the mountain kingdoms of Colchis, Iberia and Albania played a major role in the history of that region, such that Rome assisted Sassan in maintaining a mutual buffer in the Caucuses. For my DBA 3.0 Severan Project, I decided to explore the kingdoms in depth which eventually lead to collecting figures for a DBA "army" for special scenarios. See the links below for further information about these little known kingdoms. Cheers, Robert Basic research link Kingdom of Colchis/Lazica link Kingdom of Iberia link Kingdom of Albania link |

Thank you for your comments. While researching this project and adding books to my library, I have come across plenty of useful ideas for scenarios. In a case such as this, several armies were built were no DBA list seemed appropriate. The client state of Palmyra of the 2nd century is in a similar situation which will be covered after Sarmatia and Armenia. Cheers, |
