Maty Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 The Romans famously lacked stirrups. How much further they had to go is revealed at last (HERE). Ah yes, evidently an early third-century Roman depiction of a Sassanid cavalryman. Indications are patterned purple trousers, effeminate appearance, brandishing what appears to be an exotic weapon, and riding one of the famous Niscean horses. Greaves on the horse reveal this is a currently unarmoured cataphract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
