Late Sassanid warriors

Trough the basics stayed the same throughout this era, many elements ofweaponry evolved to some degree. By now the majority of troops were armored, though light horsemen were still employed. The one shown here is based on depictions of hunters and courties. The armored trooper, middle, is based on spahbedan seals, though his helmet is based on a surviving example. Horse armor was usually of the laminated type, though scale armor certainly survived into the late period as well. The commander on the right is based on the relief at Taq-e Boastan.
