Korea Kingdoms and their horsemen

Salvete Omnes,





Korea (the whole peninsula back then)  - almost 1,800 through 1000 years ago - was the land of horsemen, horse archers and armored warriors and their horses.


 

 





The  warriors  - of Gaya Confederacy, Goguryeo Kingdom , Silla etc -  wore metal cuirasses and helmets and were armored lance wielding  horsemen and horse archers.
