Historical background
"Byzantine" is a modern name for the Eastern Roman Empire, which saw itself as Roman. In the 3rd and 4th centuries the late Roman army adopted units of armoured horsemen on the Persian model, cataphractarii and clibanarii. The famous cataphracts of the Byzantine heyday in the 10th century lie long after the game's period.
