Historical background
Archery from horseback had been a weapon of the nobility in Persia since the Achaemenids; Herodotus already writes that Persian boys learned to ride, shoot the bow and tell the truth. The armoured horsemen of the Sasanians also carried the bow besides the lance. Middle Persian texts bear witness to archery being cultivated as a noble art.
