Belisarius had great success in spite of Justinian’s on and off again support over his life. He is often remembered as The “Last of the Romans”. He assembled a cavalry which was his primary fighting force that combined the best and most dangerous aspects of both of Rome’s greatest enemies, the Huns and the Goths. His cavalry was armed with a broad sword, bow, lance and heavy armor. This gave his army the advantage of close and long range combat while also allowing quick maneuverability. He survived several combat situations that would otherwise seem hopeless, due to his innovative mind and quick thinking.
