🔴 **Sutton Hoo and Syria: The Anglo-Saxons Who Served in the Byzantine Army?**

_“I am arguing that it is likely that the men buried in the princely burials at Prittlewell and Sutton Hoo mound 1 served, with a group of their contemporaries, as cavalry soldiers in the Foederati recruited by Tiberius in 575 in the wars with the Sasanians on the eastern front.”_
