    Default cataphracts

    Hello everyone, I have a question.

    I have to write my bachelor thesis this year and I will write it about the origin of cataphracts.
    The problem is that there is seemingly not very much literature about the subject.
    Since EB has the reputation to be historical, I was curious which sources you used to include the cataphracts in the several unit rosters?
    It would help me a lot if I'd get any more information about them.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure you'll get much of a response here; the team itself doesn't check this forum much, I don't think. You might have better luck asking in the VV or the EB2 forums.
    I beat back their first attack with ease. Properly employed, E's can be very deadly, deadlier even than P's and Z's, though they're not as lethal as Paula Abdul or Right Said Fred.

    Many of them don't seem to be relevant to the easy. I haven't seen it recently, but I remember a lot more Greek and roman stuff.

    I know, I will have to search which ones I think will be helpful and read through them in order to find some useful information. I will focus on the eastern literature, since cataphracts have primarily been used here, although the Romans adapted them later. But that isn't important to my thesis
