Did the infantry of M. Antonius not face up to and frustrate the attempts of the Parthian horse archers and Cathphracts?
Albeit on a long retreat? There was a battle where the infantry formed up on a hillside, and waited until the Perthian patience dissapaited and they attacked, only to be severly mauled by the heavy infantry who did not foolishly charge down the hill.
Can't recall if that was one of the skirmishes on Antonius' retreat, or if I am thinking of another campaign.

Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
