Illustrations of Sassanid Persian Clibanarii

[ValentinianVictrix]

I would also like to point out that there are a number of latin texts that refers to infantry wearing 'catafracts' or similar derivatives, i.e. wearing heavy armour. My own opinion is that Catafractarii refers to cavalry with a heavily armoured rider whilst Clibanarii refers to cavalry that not only has a heavily armoured rider but also rides a horse that is armoured.
