>(On the contrary, in Byzantine Army, Cataphracti is more armored than
Clibinari.)

In RW, neither of Achaimenes and Sassanians didn't know stirrups...... So, though I don't know where and when about the battlefield of Dara. Only minor elite forces can wield long spear on their horsebacks. (It needs great technic without stirrups.)

<<603?606

The assassination of Maurice and his sons by Phocas (602) gave Khusrau the opportunity to declare war against Constantinople. After defeating the forces of Phocas, Khusrau's armies invaded Armenia and Syria and ravaged Cappadocia; many cities were captured, including Dara (603), Amida, and Resaina (606). In 604 a Sassanian army had been defeated by the Arabs at the Battle of Dhu Qar. >>

Hmm, I imaged Carmanos and his successors with Achaimenes Dynasty.

My interview with Greg in Oakland:
<<What does the ancient country hold the closest similarity to LE? Persia? Roman Empire? Byzantine? Or Sumerian?

He said, "Persia". and shifted to "Sassanoid Persia". I said Dara Happa has great similarity to Ancient China. He reluctantly denied and he said he doesn' t know well about the ancient china. I cannot believe this portion of his address.>> Received on Tue 25 Apr 2006 - 09:57:59 EEST
