Stirrups are mentioned in the Mauricius Strategikon on the left side of the horse of the capsarius to pick up a wounded person from the Battlefield.
One was placed at the front of the saddle for the rider one at the back for the wounded person .
You can see what could be a leather stirrup on the Silver dish from Isola Rizza.
A picture of it is in :
Die Langobarden, Archaolgie und Geschichte.
