The oldest version of the Dame du Lac of "Celtic" Brittany is in fact Anahita or Artemis. Anahita was responsible for carrying out the investiture of the Achaemenid sovereigns. Like Mithra, she is depicted in beliefs bestowing the farr (Divine Royal Glory) to a monarch bearing a broadsword. Bestowing the royal glory upon a broadsword-bearing king, such as Arthur, is also one of the main functions of the Lady of the Lake in the chivalric mysticism that was brought to Britannia by the Alans (Iranians Living In The Roman Empire).

NEW MAP: Europe 49: Bosporan War (31 Aug 49 AD) https://buff.ly/33y4NyR In the late 40s AD the Bosporan Kingdom—a Roman client state on the Black Sea—was thrown into crisis when the deposed King Mithridates III allied with the Siraces in an attempt to regain his throne. However, King Cotys and the commander of the small Roman garrison countered this move by calling on the Aorsi (soon to become known as or replaced by the Alans), defeating both Mithridates and the Siraces. #europe #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #ancienthistory #classicalworld #ancientworld #alans #august #august31 #crimea #bosporankingdom #aorsi #europeanhistory #parthia #romanempire #romans #roman #ancientrome #romanhistory #maps #newmap #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Krasnodar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1M3o-Ig3Q1/?igshid=en1f887d2yi6
