Fast moving and with a long range, missile cavalry are great at harassing their enemies, but weak if pinned down in melee.

Baktrioi Diorthomatoi Hippeis
(Greco-Bactrian Late Cavalry)

As the threat of nomadic incursions has increased over time, Greco-Bactrians have adapted in order to counter the horse archers and cataphracts from the North and East. Their equipment is heavier than before, but they still remain swift on the battlefield.

120 Jamsya Yukhuna Duna Purma
Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (AOR_26_Yuezhi_Archers)
Jamsya Yukhuna Duna Purma
(Yuezhi Horse Archers)

These horsemen make up the backbone of the Yuezhi cavalry, as horse-archers. As such, they are armed with extremely powerful composite bows of the asymmetrical, or "Hunnic" style. Their qualities as archers are offset by their performance in melee, as they are lightly armed and wear little to no armour. Used wisely, these mounted archers are a danger to any ill-prepared enemy.
