FREE: the roman cavalry

The listing, the roman cavalry has ended.

When the cavalry engaged in close quarter fighting with infantry their height advantage would become a very effective means of slashing at the heads and backs of their opponents although of course they themselves would be vulnerable to leg wounds if however they were engaged with enemy cavalry the wounds incurred would be of a different nature and the battle itself must have been absolute mayhem with horses rearing and throwing their riders on to the ground where they would stand little chance of escaping the hooves of the other mounts.
