Description
The Roman Heavy Cavalry: Cataphractarii & Clibanarii, 1st Century BC-5th Century AD This book explores the use of heavy armored cavalry in the Roman army from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD. The author examines the role of these units, which were distinct from conventional Roman light cavalry, and their importance in the Empire's military campaigns. The book features specially commissioned artwork to illustrate the impressive and imposing cavalry units that played a significant role in the Roman army's battles against Parthia and other enemies. The Imperial period saw the continued use of heavy armor and long lances, and the development of a mobile strategic reserve.
