Quote: Also, who different were the equipments (Armor, spatha etc) of a VI century cataphract compared to III century?When during the 3rd c.? This is the era of change from lorica segmentata and gladius to lorica hamata (long-sleeved) and spatha. For cavalry, new helemts but not so much changes in armour I think. Also, spatha and hasta remained in use, although there were cavalry with bows during later centuries.
