<History>The Celts were extremely proficient horsemen and created excellent tack for their mounts. This included an early form of saddle with horns at each corner, giving them a huge edge in terms or control over their counterparts. Since the cavalry was made up of rich nobles armor and fine weapons were in great supply, making them formidable opponents.</History>

<History>The Celts used large dogs such as mastiffs or wolfhounds in combat, especially against enemy cavalry. The Romans were very impressed with the strength and ferocity of these dogs. Many were brought back to Rome for the gladiator arena or to serve as guard dogs.</History>

<History>Like a sword, a horse was a sign of nobility and as a result the Celtic cavalry was often better equipped than the infantry. Armor and helmets were common, while weapons consisted of a large bladed spear and a long slashing sword for close combat. Shields could be round, hexagonal, or oval, but the most common was a regular oval body shield with the top and bottom shorn off. Unlike other horseman, the Celts were not afraid to leap off their mount to fight on foot then climb into the saddle again when possible.</History>

<History>Gesatae were young men who devoted themselves to war, often serving as mercenaries for other tribes. They were the last Celts to fight stark naked to show their courage, often carrying only a shield with several javelins and a regular Celtic spear. More often than not they were covered in geometric designs painted in woad, a blue dye.</History>

<History>The spear was the main weapon of the Celts, arming the bulk of their forces. The average Celt would only have to take up his long spear and body shield to be ready for battle. While armor was rare the rabid fighting spirit of the Celts more than made up for in vigor what was lost in protection.</History>
