Description
Although farmers were lightly equipped as warriors, they came from a culture that had a long tradition of heroic warfare, raiding and skirmishing. Armed with spears and javelins, protected by cloth armour and Celtic, sub-rectangular La Tene shields, they made up for a lack of experience with numbers. Their weapons represented what was available to the common farmer, one who also fed his family by hunting.
