Parthian Mounted Tactics
"Like the Parthians, fly, and kill with a retreating eye."The Sassanids were, above all, masters of the horse. Their cavalry was renowned throughout the ancient world for the power of its cataphracts, as well as the dexterity and skill of the ancillary skirmishing horsemen. A particular tactic that gained infamy was the 'Parthian Shot', a military manoeuvre in which the cavalry archers would retreat from the enemy at full gallop whilst turning their bodies back to fire on their unprepared pursuers. The first Sassanid king, Ardashir, maintained the organisation of the old military regime as well as the reliance on skilled mounted warriors that his Parthian forebears were famed for.
