Persian Empire

-

The Persian Empire was establishe­d soon after humans had learned how to make steel; weapons made by the Persians were sharper and stronger. Known for fighting on horseback, the ancient Persians were the first civilisati­on to have an armoured cavalry, with horses and riders completely covered in steel armour. A famous artefact from the time was the Kulah Khud, a steel headpiece worn by Persian soldiers in the 18th and 19th century
