[edit] Cataphracts?

"This tactic was used by most Eurasian nomads, including the Scythians, Huns, Magyars, Turks and Mongols, and it eventually spread to armies away from the Eurasian steppe, such as the Byzantine cataphracts and Sassanid clibanarii." Can anyone provide a citation for this tidbit? It seems to me that both of those units would be too heavily armored to do much rotation of the body in the saddle. --Quuxplusone 07:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
