HaT 1:72 Persian Medium Cavalry 8076
During the life of the Persian Empire the status of the cavalry had grown enormously, and by the time of Darius III it was both a noble and a royal pastime to ride. With much rugged countryside in the Empire the Persians could call upon many excellent riders, and though these would have come from many different peoples, it seems their appearance would usually have closely matched that of the Persians themselves.
There was no rigid definition of medium cavalry of course – those that could charge formed infantry were termed heavy, and those that could not were light, although even these terms are not necessarily something an ancient Persian would have used.
