Cataphract The Reconquest of the Roman Empire

Cataphract represents a heavily armored cavalryman, inspired by either the Sarmatians (cataphractarius) or the Persians (clibanarius). It was the ultimate mounted armored warrior of the ancient world, proficient in both shock and missile combat. This product vividly portrays the war - art development during the early Byzantine Empire under Emperor Justinian's reign, led by great generals Belisarius and Narses. For a short time, the Byzantine Empire, also called the Eastern Roman Empire, recaptured a large part of the former Western Roman Empire. Despite success in reconquering Italy and North Africa, it lacked the resources to hold the gains. Cataphract covers all major battles of this era. To understand these battles in historical context, the Campaign Game, Justinian, is included, which follows the quest to reunite the Roman Empire under one ruler.
