WHAT DOES CONTUS MEAN IN GERMAN?

Contus

Contus or precise Contus sarmaticus, the Latin and Kontos is the Greek term for an extremely long type of lance, used by Roman and Byzantine cavalry. Contus lances were between three and five meters long and were carried on horseback in the fight ambidextrous. The Contus lance was an invention of the Iranian Sarmatians and Parthians, and was adopted by the Romans in Late Antiquity along with the principle of cataphractus, which made extensive use of this type of lance. Contour riders were called Contarii. The first special units of Contarii appeared in the Trajan period around 100 AD. The Contarii can be either heavily armored Cataphracti, Clibanarii, or slightly armored riders. The typical image of a contarius is shown by the representations of Saint George, which is shown on horseback with a long Contus lance on both hands.
