Just a picture I found. The Ossetians celebrating their heritage. Don't know if these guys are south Ossetians or north Ossetians. But it is definitely nationalistic feelings such as this that the Russians have tapped into.

This is obvious evidence of steroid abuse during the Late Roman Empire. These people should be disaqualified from engaging in wars with clean, non-dopehead nations.
These guys were outside the Roman Empire, mostly. I think their obvious physical superiority was due to drinking vast amounts of Haoma (Soma in the Indo-Aryan dialect) in order to have true spiritual experiences.
I also like their costume designers. Good stuff.
Hey. That guy in the middle looks exactly like the Polish actor who plays Bohun in "With Fire and Sword."
Poles liked to claim they were descended from these people too. It was so much better than accepting their kinship with the Slavic Russians.
