Historical background
The Armenian nobility fought as heavily armoured cavalry on the Iranian model. In 69 BC Tigranes the Great led a large army with armoured horsemen against Lucullus at Tigranocerta, who defeated it with a far smaller force. In the wars between Rome and Persia the Armenian cavalry remained a courted ally.
