Arabic Horsemen
Hardened by battle, weathered by the desert.The term 'Arab' was first applied to the defeated forces of 'The Twelve Kings' at the Battle of Qarqar in AD853, as well as to related terms littered throughout the Hebrew Bible. Before the rise of Islam, the Arabs of late antiquity were multiplicitous, established mostly around what is now modern-day Yemen. The Himyarite Kingdom - known as Homerites by Romans and Greeks - was the most potent of the Arabian kingdoms, having conquered their surrounding lands and grown wealthy from trade with the Roman Empire. The Himyarites flourished from the 1st to the 6th century AD, when they were conquered by invading Christians from Aksum.
