<em>"Parthians proved to the Romans that cavalry armies are good thing (these lessons cost Romans hundreds of thousands their soldiers’ lives). Tendency of the later Roman and Byzantine period is towards more and better cavalry."</em><br>

If I am not mistaken, the parthians, of which you seem so fond, lost an equal number of troops, and also had their capital sacked. So much for their "vaunted" cavalry. I don't suppose being mounted is such a hot idea while figthing CQB in a city does it?<br>
