Historical background
"Phartisch" stands for Parthian. The Parthians relied on a noble armoured cavalry whose riders and horses were clad in scale or lamellar armour and who charged with the long lance, the kontos. Together with the horse archers they destroyed the army of Crassus at Carrhae in 53 BC under the general Surena.
