Yhea, I think I'm some versions he is even a cavalry commander from Romania, hence the knights.
the 'sarmatian theory' grain is completely untenable but it was the basis of the 2004 film so it has outsized cache. the sarmatian commander guy was over a century too old! it still gets used a lot because it's hard for audiences to wrap their heads around "knights" being direct descendents of roman cavalry. it's a whole heap of communication issues & narrative decisions
