Early Byzantine Heavy Kavallarioi First Unit Single Bases

[Darrell Hindley]

In order to get the promised images of the single bases taken I was up a little earlier then normal. The photo's have been taken mostly with artificial light and I do hope they hold up to my usual standards(?).


In this post I've included samples of the single bases from the front only- there are a heck of a lot of pics!


If you want to see more from various angles of all of the bases please hop on over to my blog here:

The thing that you might be getting confused by is that the actual unit named the "Kataphraktoi" was only used during certain periods. There were many other units of heavily armored tagmata cavalry that went by different names, for example, the Athanatoi of John I Tzimiskes or Alexios I Komnenos, or the powerful Klibanophoroi of Nikephoros II Phok
