Roman Legionaries Vs. Medieval Heavy infantry
#43
Hi, my understanding is that Parthians used former Seleucid Greek infantry until Phraates II around 127BC who used them to fight Sakas in east but they mutinied & joined Saka and killed Phraates, made Parthians rethink the use of heavy infantry in their armies.
