Sister, my sensibilities are not easily offended by much of anything. Don't use my sensibilities as a measuring stick.

I voted for the Spartans. The Byzantine mailed soldiers? Come on, what a group of losers.
300 was a work of fiction.

Byzantine cataphracts are mailed horsemen atop massive mailed horses. The men could probably wield more weapons at once from the back of a horse than any other cavalry in history. They were formiddable and they kept Byzantium secure for a thousand years while greatly outnumbered by the Ishmaelites. They were hardly losers.
