Arms and Armour terminology!

Add to the list! I'll keep adding to the list. I'll alphabetize once we get some input. ARMS ARMOUR -- Chieres/Manica: Segmented armour for the arms of a soldier (usually for a cavalryman) . Notably used by the Romans during the Dacian Wars and by Eastern "cataphract" style cavalry. -- Chamfron: Armour for the face of a horse. -- Peytral: Skirt armour for the chest of a horse. -- Is there a separate name for the horse chest armour that is one solid piece rather than a skirt? -- Parameridi

The name must be Brihentin Gallic Brihentin (Bree-hen-ten; "Knights") are heavy cavalry. They are used as shock cavalry to break an enemy position and destroy flanks, as well as overrun heavy infantry and slaughter lighter cavalry. Their spears, swords, and chain armor is all of finest quality, and their skill is great, though they are, as any cavalry, vulnerable to long spears and pikes. They can be used to best effect for riding down enemy heavy infantry and defeating light cavalry
