Cataphract

$152.95

A cataphract was a form of heavy cavalry used in ancient warfare by a number of peoples in Western Eurasia. The word in English is derived from the Greek: atfat Kataphraktos, literally meaning armoured or completely enclosed. Historically the cataphract was a very heavily armored horseman, with both the rider and steed draped from headtotoe in scale armor, while typically wielding a kontos or lance as their weapon. Cataphracts served as either the elite cavalry or assault force for most empires and nations that fielded them, primarily used for impetuous charges to break through infantry formations. Chronicled by many historians from the earliest days of Antiquity up until the High Middle Ages, they are in part or wholly believed to have given rise to the Age of Feudalism in Europe and the later European equivalents of Knights and Paladins, via contact with the Byzantine Empire.
