Perhaps hiring phallanx units as well, that would put a stop to most calvary charges in some areas.

use 1/4 of fast shooters from front, flank with 3/4 and rain arrows, keep light cavalry 50 yards hidden behind, if enemy cavalry charges, disperse and make room for light cavalry to hit enemy cavalry.

That was hundreds of years before Roman Empire, at the time of the Roman Empire, they weren't very strong. Weren't some of Mesopotamia in the Selucid Empires hands?

in fact, from Babylonian Empire we haven't seen any kingdom ruled by
Akkadians/Assyrians or Chaldeans. Ahmed, unfortunately you are
misunderstanding the definition of this topic!

it's Saudi Arabia's national flag, and it reads something like "God and

The Romans had way too much stuff to lug around. The Huns easily caused chaos and had little problems defeating them.

In fact, all of it fell into Seleukid hands in the 3rd C. BC.

Well because Mesopotamian armies 200-300 years earlier would be smashed by the Roman armies. Someone said they were too weak, and in truth, they could not beat out a well lead Roman Army.
