    Cataphracts from the ancient world up to the 6th century AD, from all sorts of places. Equipment notes:
    Achaemenid Persian (5th c BC) - 'Assyrian' type helmet, scale gorget (grivpanvar), laminar arm guards, scale horse chest and flank armour (peytral and flanchard)
    Greco-Baktrian (3rd c BC) - Attic-Boeotian helmet, muscle cuirass, laminar arm guards, cloth thigh guards (pteryges), greaves, lamellar peytral
    Ptolemaic (2nd BC) - Konos type helmet, linen cuirass, felt arm and leg guards, felt barding
    Seleucid (1st c BC) - Konos type helmet with face mask, muscle cuirass, laminar arm guards, pteryges, greaves, scale barding, crested plate chamfron
    Sarmatian (1st c AD) - Spangenhelm, scale cuirass with shoulder guards, scale barding
    Sogdian (1st c AD) - Lamellar helmet, neck guard (gorget), shoulder guards (spaulders) and forearm guards (vambraces), thigh guards (cuisses)
    Eastern Han (1st c AD) - lamellar helmet, thigh-length cuirass with raised collar, shoulder guards / 'sleeves' (pauldrons?), lamellar 'trousers' (my interpretation but knees seem weirdly unprotected), felt or linen peytral
    Parthian (3rd c AD) - Conical spangenhelm with full-face mail aventail, thigh-length scale and plate cuirass, laminar arm guards, mail leggings (chausses), plate greaves and foot guards, scale barding
    Sassanid (4th c AD) - 'thimble' type helmet with face mask, mail aventail, thigh-length lamellar cuirass, laminar arm guards, laminar leg guards, scale barding
    Roman (4th c AD) - Deir el-Medina type Spangenhelm, scale shoulder guard and thigh-length cuirass, laminar arm and leg guards, scale barding
    Goguryeo (5th c AD) - lamellar helmet, gorget, spaulders, cuirass, and armoured skirt, lamellar barding
    Romano-Byzantine (6th c AD) - Baldenheim type helmet, lamellar spaulders and thigh-length cuirass, plate chafron, lamellar peytral and neck guard (criniere)
    Arthurian (6th c AD) - artistic license - Deurne type helmet (possibly evolved into Staffordshire type helmet), chainmail hauberk, lamellar cuirass, plate greaves, felt peytral

    Hey, great channel man! Just a suggestion, might not even reach you, but it’d be cool to see an evolution of Cuman-Kipchaks through the ages. they had some super cool face guard helmet designs. They actually remind me a lot of how the cataphracts looked towards the beginning of the Middle Ages, since Cumania existed around the same time. Might be cool, but either way keep up the great work!

  • @johngallagher9151
    @johngallagher9151 Před 3 lety +1

    Honestly, it depends where the cataphract came from and also there were like 50 different patterns and types of helmets, armor, arm sleeves, etc. for people to choose from in antiquity. Specific cultures could get almost whatever they wanted if they had the money but they would mostly tend to stick to what most of the culture around them would stick to. For example a Parthian noble would buy armor and weapons/inherit armor and weapons that most other Parthian nobles did.
    A Parthian could buy some Gallic chainmail or a Greek linothorax if they wanted to, but they tended to choose to look like each other. There are alot of reasons for why people do things, maybe someone thought that it was the best equipment around so they bought it because their peers were using that type, or maybe it was all they could find at the time. Also those who haven't used their equipment wouldnt have to replace anything so that is also a factor.
    Scythians and other steppe tribes also had cataphracts and they wore equipment that is different in looks and design from Iranian, Persian, Parthian, Dahae and other peoples and tribes in the middle eastern area.

      i didnt base it on anything in particular, though i guess it vaguely resembles the horse armour on the Taq e Bostan relief of Khosrow II

      did the byzantines actually use them or is it all theoretical?

      Procopius doesnt seem to mention horse armour for the Byzantines (tho he does mention Gothic cavalry with horse armour), though an anonymous treatise a bit earlier than him does recommend horse armour for front-ranking cavalry. The Strategikon explicitly recommends horse armour. So it's probably safe to say that it was in use in this period (tho there isn't much artistic evidence)
