=== Cavalry ===

The backbone of the ''Spâh'' in the Sasanian era was its heavy armoured cavalry, known since [[Classical antiquity]] in the west as [[Cataphract]]s. This was made up of noblemen who underwent extensive exercises in warfare and military manoeuvres through military training, gaining discipline and becoming true soldiers.{{Citation needed|date=July 2007}} Within the Sasanian military, the cavalry was the most influential element, and Sasanian [[cavalry tactics]] were adopted by the Romans, Arabs, and Turks. Their weaponry, battle tactics, [[tamga]]s, medallions, court customs, and costumes greatly influenced their Romano-Byzantine neighbours.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}} The Romans had long contended against opponents who fielded heavy cavalry, notably the [[Sarmatians]] and the [[Parthia]]ns, and the recurrent wars with the Sasanian were an important factor in the Roman turn to new military organizations and battlefield tactics that centered around the use of heavy cavalry in the 3rd and 4th centuries. The Romans called these newly formed units ''[[clibanarii]]''; It is said that the word ''clibanarii'' is derived from Persian word ''[[grivpanvar]]'' or ''griva-pana-vara'' meaning ''neck-guard wearer''. Another, more direct and often quoted, etymology is the Greek word ''ho klibanos'', which refers to a covered pot in which bread was baked or a small oven; perhaps a joking reference to the one-piece mask helmets they wore. The Roman term appears for the first time in the ''vita Alexandri Severi'' (56.5) in the ''Historia Augusta'', a work from the very end of the 4th century AD.
