Cataphract, Clibanarii, whatever, against Infantry

[marka]

the byzantine account has persian horses either pulling up short,throwing riders or weaving around the infantry formation,it also says the persians had difficulty using their bows.

Just for my own curiosity, do you have a cite from that Byzantine account? I'd like to read it.

its procopius account of the battle of callinicum (sometimes called battle of sura)in the history of wars book 1.18,basically the retreating byzantine infantry were driven against a river bank where they rallied and held off the persians
