The arms, equipment and impact of Late Roman Clibanarii

[ValentinianVictrix]

Might I suggest, as the originator of this thread, that people go back and read the first couple of pages as I went to a great deal of trouble and research, assisted by Francis and Michael, and much of what people are now talking about was covered way back when.

This may well answer questions about the 'invulnerability' of Late Roman Catafractarii/Clibanarii and the use of such heavily armoured cavalry in battle, usign original sources.
