Roman Heavy Cavalry Fighting Techniques
#56
I wanted to post up some more images of horses going through infantry at speed. And a nice one of a horse going over Byron at speed. Confusedmile:

But I also wanted to be able to cite Robert E. Gaebel's "Cavalry Operations in the Ancient Greek World".

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cavalry-Operatio...969&sr=1-2

http://ebookee.org/Cavalry-Operations-in...65307.html

It is a while since I have read it but he gives several descriptions of Macedonian cavalry entangled with their enemies in a sort of close order pushing match, certainly at the Granicus and at Gaugamela.
