Britannia (Empire Divided) Melee Cavalry

Auxiliary Cappadocian Cavalry

Cappadocian horsemen were found in many armies of Asia Minor but were most common in the forces of Pontus and Armenia. Although they wore scale armour and open helmets, so as not to impair their vision, their horses were unarmoured, allowing a good degree of speed and manoeuvrability. As a result, the Cappadocians were certainly faster across open ground than the heavy cataphracts used by eastern armies by this point in antiquity, and were most often placed on the flanks of an army to counter infantry skirmishers or light horse. Charges into spear or pike-armed phalanxes would have been stupid, and fatal, however.
