    I'm curious, what do you make of the Galatian cataphracts in Appian's account of the Seleucid order of battle at Magnesia? I've always taken them to just be heavily-armed (mail-armoured) Galatian cavalry (basically the current Galatian Heavy Cavalry), but I wonder if perhaps you have another interpretation?

    Possible Galatian heavy cavalry that adapted eastern horse barding?

    The Galatian Heavy Cavalry is what I went with in my version of Magnesia.

    The cataphract is unfortunately... broad. I wonder what TPC would say.

    I don't think Paullus was being very serious; seeing his remark about camelry...

    Regardless of whether he was serious or not, I'm just curious what his take on the Galatikoi kataphraktoi of Appian's account is.

    He's going to be away for a couple of days, so it might take a while to respond.

    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.
