The heavier cavalry of the Persian Empire were generally recruited from the nobility, and were a significant part of the army. This set depicts the most heavily armoured men, which were probably a fairly small minority within the total cavalry force but the most impressive in appearance. With their expensive armour and the best of horses, they would be expected to deliver the crushing blow to win the victory on the battlefield.
20 unpainted soldiers in 1/72 scale.
