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.

Early Sassanid cavalry

Here we see a heavy armored horseman from eastern Iran. He is based on the coins minted by Kushashans, "governors" or "viceroys" from the house of Sasan. Inanian and central Asian iconography atteats to the survival and local development of the Hellenistic muscle cuirass, at least among the highest status warriors. In the background a Sassanid mounted lancer, based on the famous Firusabad frieze, fights an Arab infantryman like his comrade in the foreground. They are both based on one of Shapur I's rock reliefs from Bishapur.
