Did the later Ptolemaic royal guard cavalry ever use fully armored "cataphract style" armor?
I've seen some sources say the Ptolemies, influenced by the Seleucid empire, uparmored their royal squadron cavalry with horse armor, and armor for the legs/arms of the rider. Is this something that did eventually happen?
