This list covers the Celts of Gaul and north Italy from the rise of the La Tene culture until the end of Caesar’s conquest of Gaul. The Gauls of Italy were feared by the Romans and inflicted crushing defeats on them. Chariots were replaced by cavalry before Caesar’s Wars, but important earlier. At Telamon in 225 BC both were used, with the chariots fighting on the flanks of the infantry. This is an army for extroverts who enjoy the sight of flamboyant warriors with long moustaches, lime- stiffened hair, bare chests, tartan trousers, long decorated shields, long cutting swords and javelins whooping into the enemy. They lived in open arable farmland rather than forest and are best represented as 4Wb. That they fought closely packed is suggested by a report of more than one shield being pierced by single pila. An exception were the Gaesati, a community of mercenary infantry based in the Alps. These fought naked with great dash, but proved very vulnerable to the javelins of skirmishers when attempting to hold a hill-top position, so are best represented as 3Wb. However, as cavalry became dominant, warriors without horses and un-stiffened by nobles became less stable and more brittle, so can also be 3Wb. References: Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars D.
