Illustrations of Sassanid Persian Clibanarii
#2
May I make the point that I have made elsewhere that the evidence suggests that clibanarius is a technical term that applies to heavily-armoured cavalry serving in the Roman army and should not be applied to non-Roman troops? These may be referred to as cataphracti or cataphracti equites.
