Quote:Ah okay Renatus. I always thought the Romans had different terms for lesser grades of cavalry tou equate with the Cataphractarius. Appearantly that is not so.If you have any particular terms in mind, please let me know and I will give you my opinion - if I have one!
Quote:But it may not be possible to stretch the interpretation to mean that cataphractarii and archers are the same thing? Because that is the point I am trying to make.I don't think so. As far as I can judge, he is referring to separate units or classes of unit. Better Latinists than I may have a different opinion, of course.
