History:
The Gallic tribes of ancient Europe were famed for their warrior culture and their frequent clashes with expanding Roman power. From the early sack of Rome in 390 BCE to Caesar’s campaigns in the 1st century BCE, the Gauls proved time and again to be tenacious opponents. Warriors often fought with swords, javelins, and large ornate shields, accompanied by loud war cries and symbolic standards. Armour ranged from simple chainmail to the luxurious attire of nobles, often reflecting personal wealth and tribal identity. Their battlefield tactics relied on strength, courage, and rapid assaults, making them both admired and feared in antiquity. Despite eventual Roman conquest, Gallic influence remained strong throughout Roman Gaul, with many later serving in auxiliary units of the empire.
