The article is the first Russian translation of a short treatise “Epitedeuma” by Urbicius, a Greek author. In this treatise, in a rhetorical form, Urbicius recommends to the Eastern Roman Emperor Anastasius (AD 491—518) to use special military devices, conventionally called “Spanish rider”, to protect the Roman infantry formation. The devices had to neutralize the horses of enemy cavalrymen and thereby disable the enemy’s powerful cavalry. This translation is supplied with an introductory article and comments explaining the historical realities
