Some additions are required to my earlier post.
I spoke of the frontlet of the cataphract's horse. The word I was seeking but could not remember at the time is peytral.
I have now checked illustrations of the Pergamum reliefs. The standing cavalryman's cuirass is similar to but not exactly the same as some examples on the reliefs. However, the mercenary's helmet and the Companion cavalryman's shield are both taken from the reliefs.
