I've been watching the five-minute "Rome with Commentary" available for HBO digital subsrcibers, and the producer said, "Of course the Romans didn't actually have stirrups, but we'll overlook that."
Then the director chimed in with something to the effect of, "It wouldn't look very good for Caesar or Antony to fall off a horse."
