Salve!
That's a good book. I also have [amazon]Training the Roman Cavalry[/amazon] by Ann Hyland. Both books have been a great start to my studies. What I did find was there are a lot of theories through archaeology and research in Asia that the stirrup was quite possible used several hundred years before it caught on with the rest of the world. Especially across the Steppes regions.
This is a really informative link on some of the studies going on.
