Quote:Oh, okay, then it was just a misunderstanding. If you can get a hold of Mielczarek's "Cataphracti i Clibinarii," he goes over the question of "what makes a cataphract" quite thoroughly and arrives at the conclusion that the mount need not be armoured.
Which is where I got part of my knowledge.
Mielczarek, Mariusz (1993): Cataphracti and Clibanarii, Studies on the Heavy Armoured Cavalry of the Ancient World, Oficyna Naukawa, Lódz.
