    That's a heavy armored Persian cataphract, what the sassanids used to melt through Roman formations. I'm pretty sure the Persians invented cataphracts and it spread into Europe.

    Horse archers became very significant during the late Persian dynasty and were used throughout the Parthian dynasty. Parthian horse archers looked pretty much the same as the ones in the video. They were lightly armored. Infact the man is wearing the same clothes the parthians wore
