Historical background
After their time on the steppes north of the Black Sea the Goths, especially the Ostrogoths, increasingly fought on horseback. Procopius describes Ostrogothic lancers in the Gothic Wars of the 6th century who sought out the enemy in the charge. Their neglect of mounted missile fighting became a disadvantage against the horse archers of the Eastern Empire.
