    Default I don't think I've ever seen a cataphract reenactor until now

    It's a little outside of the EB timeframe, but I've never seen this before until today

    The reenactor looks pretty scary. I wonder how someone on the receiving end of the charge had to feel.

    I felt like posting this because it's the closest I've seen to an EB Kataphraktoi in real life.

    I wouldn't care if they called that a Hungarian Hussar, that's just plain awesome. Must have been time-consuming making all that.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    Must have cost a arm and a leg.

    OMG! He looks closer to those vanilla Cataphracts! Just look for his conical helmet and the large scales of his horsey's armour.... perhaps he never look for EB before?

    Perhaps you speak of the Sassanid cataphract he's explicitly labelled as?

    Yeah, I know that he was Sassanian Katas, but he looks more closer to those vanillas....
