"North of the city Tanais the Don River wound..." (p. 275) Mithradates' general defeated the Rukh-Ansa at the Chersonese. ( p. 277)
Eodan and his companions have adventures between Chapters XX and XXI as they will after XXI. They traveled from Parthia through Armenia and behind the Caucasus until they found Tjorr's people.
Eodan has killed his Roman enemies and, according to the EPILOGUE, his successors will overthrow Roman power in Europe.
The image shows one of the places called Chersonese and also Troas, the site of Troy, the mythological predecessor of Rome. Next we might reread Poul Anderson's account of the Eastern Roman Empire a millennium and a half later.

Kaor, Paul!
And these would have been quite remote and distant successors who brought down the Western Roman Empire. More than 500 years after THE GOLDEN SLAVE.
Ad astra! Sean
