It may have resembled the later manica armour used by Roman gladiators and cataphract cavalry. There was just one regiment of cataphract horse archers. They would be guarded heavily by cataphract style cavalry. Yet it seems that the cataphract was eventually superseded by other types of armoured cavalry. The Cataphract generally only served in the eastern Hellenistic armies. Weapons and tactics used by the Grivpanvars were analogous to those of cataphract cavalry. More heavily armoured types of cataphract were called "clibanarii" ("klibanophoroi"). After the introduction of the Cataphract, the Hetairoi were given similar but lighter protection. The primary weapon of practically all cataphract forces throughout history was the lance. It is difficult to determine when exactly the cataphract saw his final day. The standard cataphract weapon was a "xyston"-like spear. A type of cataphract called a "clibanarius" also appears in the 4th-century record. The Seleucid cavalry, after the introduction of the Cataphract, can be sub-divided into several categories.
