This is about the ratio between Horsemen and Infantry. From the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, the ratio was on average 50:1 which, interestingly, was the ratio to the Egyptian Army during the Ptolemaic Dynasty. At it's height (their Army was small in number, but expensive and Professional enough to be considered a world-class army) the Army consisted of 200,000 Foot Soldiers and 4000 Horsemen, (not including Chariots) and also a huge number of Warships, 1500. This would be able to transport both Infantry and Horsemen and then some. Any more facts about the Ptolemies?
