Cataphracts? Oh. Heavily armed cavalry. Where did that word come from..

Was his army actually decimated or just utterly destroyed. When it comes to the romans you gotta be specific. Decimation was a form of punishment where a tenth of a force was killed some way. I forgot how. I think they had to fight to the death with sticks or something. 😅
