Horse Pens
The noble horse has much to teach us.Horses played an important role in Celtic society, both spiritually and practically. Many Roman writers freely admitted that the Celts were excellent horsemen, and they went as far as calling Celtic mercenaries the best cavalry in the Roman army. The Romans even adopted a Celtic deity in the hope that she would bestow the equine knowledge and skill of the Celts upon Rome. Epona is one of very few deities to be accepted into the Roman pantheon without change, although her role did develop over time. Eventually, she provided protection for all those who worked with horses and not just the animals themselves. She was a popular deity among the Roman cavalry, and her cult spread across Europe wherever the Romans had cavalry garrisons.

Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Ibe_Lusotannan_Cav) Ambakaro Epones (Lusitani Elite Medium Cavalry) While not numerous in Lusitanian armies, these cavalrymen are fundamentally important as scouts and, most of all, as good skirmishing medium cavalry, using the agility and speed of their horses. They are courageous and very competent, but should avoid spear-armed infantry at all costs. They protect themselves with light armour made of quilted linen under composite leather. They also use their trademark bronze helmets with the "bucula" ("facemask") along with steel falcata swords and caetra shields. |

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Ibe_Lusotannan_light_cav) Epones Aeiste (Lusitani Light Cavalry) The thundering of hooves, a hail of iron-tipped javelins, and they are gone, only to reappear from another quarter. Again and again these cavalrymen harry the enemy until their foes, fearful and demoralised, break formation, whereupon the Epones Aeiste strike home, unsheathing sharp swords and parrying their foes' blows with small round shields; they ride down their enemies without mercy. |

Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ibe_Lusotannan_Skirm) Cateramuniti (Lusitani Levy Skirmishers) The Cateramuniti are the most common skirmishers in any Lusitanian force. Used to harass and antagonise the enemy with showers of iron-tipped javelins, they weave to and fro, avoiding direct hand-to-hand combat whenever possible. These warbands are the lightest and among the most 'annoying' harassment troops in Iberia. They cause many casualties, before retreating back into the night or hills, and attacking again the following day. |

Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ibe_Lusotannan_Slingers) Bouti (Lusitani Slingers) With the abandonment of the bow by the end of the Bronze Age, the sling is the only long-ranged missile weapon to be found in 3rd century Iberia. It has always been the weapon of choice of the shepherd, who relies on its range and accuracy to keep predators such as wolves and lynxes from threatening his valuable flock. |
