Short description

Warriors from this area will have a rather unique mix of fighting influence; Greek and Celtic tactics will make them a formidable foe.

Description

These Celto-Ligurians are a formidable force. Hailing from Massalia and the lands surrounding it, these troops are also influenced by Greek warfare tactics. As constant allies, neighbours, and often brothers (if not more) of the Greeks in Massalia, they have an attachment to the city itself. Serving as heavy infantry in support of the more traditionally Greek hoplite forces, these men carry a coat of mail armour, a large Celtic shield, a spear, and a highly decorated helmet. Despite the Segobriges's loyalty to the city of Massilia, and its enmity with the neighbouring Salyes (or Salluvii, in the barbarian tongue), some of their members are free to seek out fame, glory, and plunder in the service of foreign kings, be they Celts or otherwise.

As narrated by Thucydides, Massalia was founded around 600 BCE by Greeks from Phocaea. The precise circumstances and date of founding remain obscure, but nevertheless many legends survive. One such legend says that Protis, while exploring for a new trading outpost for Phocaea, discovered the Mediterranean cove of the Lacydon. He was invited inland to a banquet held by the chief of the local Ligurian tribe of the Segobrigii; the banquet's purpose being to find suitors seeking the hand of his daughter Gyptis in marriage. At the end of the banquet, Gyptis presented the ceremonial cup of wine to Protis, indicating her unequivocal choice. Following their marriage, they moved to the hill just to the north of the Lacydon; and from this settlement grew Massalia.

The Massalians aided the Romans during the Second Punic War. In the late 2nd century BCE, the Massalians pleaded to Rome for aid against their invading Gallic neighbours. Answering the request, the Romans arrived in their territory, rescuing Massalia, but also incorporating the neighbouring areas into a new province: Gallia Transalpina.
