Roman Expedition (The Last Roman) Shock Cavalry

Clibanarii

'Clibinarii' were the ultimate blunt instrument on late Roman battlefields. Taken from the original Greek 'klibanophoroi', their name means 'camp oven' or 'metallic furnace', probably due to the amount of armour that covered both man and horse. Having faced formidable opposition when fighting Palmyra and Sassanid Persia, the Eastern Romans soon realised that they would have to match their enemies' brutal heavy cavalry attack if they were to make any headway whatsoever in their wars against the eastern empires. Whereas cataphracts were traditionally armed with lances for charging, clibinarii carried all manner of clubs, maces, and axes which enabled them to get in close and literally smash their opponents to pieces in melee.
