After establishing when, where, and most importantly why good riding began, Drews goes on to show how riding raiders terrorized the civilized world in the seventh century BC, and how central cavalry was to the success of the Median and Persian empires.Drawing on archaeological, iconographic and textual evidence, this is the first book devoted to the question of when horseback riders became important in combat.
