Parthian Cataphract

Parthian Cataphracts were without doubt a cavalry most feared by the Romans. When in well timed cooperation with light mounted archers, their charge could have devastating effects on terrified and demoralized Roman legions. Hence, when well led ,numerous victories were scored by Parthians over Romans, Armenians and others. Later, Romans adopted Cataphract units into their military.
