If this isn't a bug, shouldn't it be removed from the Confirmed Bugs forum?
Militaristic City-state gifted it to Rome.
Militaristic City-States gift generic units ONLY. So... It's still a bug.
They can gift unique units, and the policy Educated Elite or something also can give you Khans.

I'm fairly certain the Unique Units of another civ shouldn't be gifted by militaristic city-states, so I'm calling this a bug.
This is by design. We wanted the city states to occasionally gift "exotic" units to make them more interesting.

See here. The forum appeared to swallow my post in the thread move?It's a militaristic city state gift. Now they gift UUs from civs that are not in the game to their allies. So a militaristic city state that Greece is Friends or Allies with would be gifting them this unit. These units will appear automatically in the recipient's territory when they are gifted.
Let us know if it's not possible that this is the case.
