Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[Agraes]

We don't know how Eccidius' horsemen fought. According to Sidonius Apollinaris they were good enough to repel the Wisigothic army. We do know about Eccidius personnal equipment, that he had a scale armor, a spatha and greaves (ocrae). From this quality equipment it was deduced that him and his soldiers fought has heavy cavalry, perhaps cataphracts. However this is the classic equipment of a late roman senior officer or general. His men could have been armored in the same way or not at all, it can't be guessed from the text.
