Quote:Indeed, the Romans and Greeks did not have stirrups, but they did have saddles. One type of saddle had four 'horns' (I do not know another word) and one could sit more or less comfortably.
When were those saddles introduced? My infallible Osprey collection shows these saddles only for the Late Roman period (hope my memory is equally infallible). Were they a Roman speciality?
