Read it again, please... - the cataphracts stood at the foot of a hill, not on a hill :!:
OTOH, it was Roman infantry who stood on that hill (after climbing up to the top of it).
Macedon mentions the battle of Tigranocerta where cataphracts supposedly stood on top of a hill.
Peter mentions the battle against the Parthians of Mount Gindarus where Parthian cavalry charged up a hill.
Not the same, or am I missing something?
