Short description

Good skirmishers, Caetrati Tribesmen went into battle armed with a clutch of javelins and a falcata.


Description

The Caetrati Tribesmen were good skirmishers, fighting with javelins, and well accustomed to a life of raiding and ambush in the rugged terrain of Spain.

 

The petty Iberian kings and chieftains were able to muster large numbers of these Caetrati Tribesmen from amongst their clans and tribes in times of war.

 

These Tribesmen carried the caetra, the distinctive small round Iberian shield found throughout the peninsula. The bundle of javelins that this tribesman also carried into battle had iron heads, and were some 4 feet long. For close fighting, the tribesmen relied upon the Spanish falacata carried in a richly inlaid scabbard. These men wore a characteristic broad, metal-furnished belt; the strapping harness around his torso is found in votive statuettes found in Iberia.

 

These men go into battle bare-headed, and tie their long hair into locks. Others tied their hair behind the neck; others gathered it into a net, or even in a pad on top of the skull, for extra protection.
