Historical background
Late Roman authors called heavily armoured horsemen clibanarii ("Clibarnii" in the game), a name traced to the bread oven, Latin clibanus. Ammianus Marcellinus describes the Sasanian armoured horsemen in the 4th century as wholly encased in iron. Whether clibanarii differed from cataphracts is debated among scholars.
