Gallic Warrior, Celtic Cavalry, 1:30, Del Prado

The Gallic Celtic cavalry warrior represents the mounted elite of the Celtic tribes that dominated much of Western Europe during the 2nd century BC. Cavalry units were composed primarily of noble warriors who fought with long spears, iron swords and large oval shields. Renowned for their speed, courage and aggressive tactics, Gallic horsemen earned the respect of both Greek and Roman armies, becoming one of the most formidable cavalry forces of the Iron Age.
This figure depicts a Gallic cavalry warrior equipped with the characteristic weapons and equipment of the pre-Roman Celtic world. Celtic horsemen played a vital role in reconnaissance, shock charges and pursuit of retreating enemies. Their battlefield effectiveness and high social status made them an important influence on Roman cavalry doctrine following the conquest of Gaul
