Quote: As far as I know, no significant horse armor has been found in Britain. There is a nice horse helmet in one of the museums but it's early Celtic. Good horse armor, intact, has been found at Duro Europa, a long distance from the isle.Dura Europos. :wink:
Indeed, no horse armour found in Britain. We do have evidence of an armoured cavalry unit (Equites catafractarii iuniores), but no evidence that their horses were armoured.
