Celtic Cavalry Raiders

Victory rides a horse.

Cattle was so important to tribal life in Celtic Ireland it was used as currency. The disruption of a cattle supply, therefore, could be catastrophic. Cattle Raiding was the source of much of the strife and conflict through Celtic Ireland, and was so prominent that it was featured heavily in early Irish literature, specifically the 'Táin Bó', or Cattle Raiding tales. Though considered fiction, much of the content is based on reality; cattle were the source of lightning raids and larger pitched battles alike. Even the post-raiding customs of taking heads and victory feasts are preserved in the tales, drawn directly from historical accounts.
