Iranian nomads? Bedu? Not sure I understand this either.
Ostrogoths
The Ostrogoths ("Eastern Goths", as opposed to "West Goths", Visigoths) were a Germanic tribe that influenced the political events of the late Roman Empire.
I hate to use the Cimmerians as there is a certain barbarian that has influenced what people visualize when this tribe is meantioned.
