Enoci Curoas

(Enoci Swordsmen)

The La Tene Celts are used as mercenaries all over Europe and Africa by the Romans, Carthaginians, other Celts, and a variety of other peoples. Their name, Curoas (Koo-roo-as), means Paid Soldiers". These men often form the core of a mercenary army and are usually tough veterans who have seen many different campaigns and have taken pay from many different masters. They are excellent as heavy infantry and are well able to deal with most opponents. They are armed with javelins and spears and they use these weapons to break up enemy formations before the charge. As with most Celts, their charge can become disorderly, but it often succeeds in breaking through the enemy line nonetheless."

The longsword was a weapon of high worth and status within the Celtic community. A warrior had to prove himself in battle many times before he was permitted to wield one. The two-handed longsword was first developed during the 8th century BC, but fell from favour before re-emerging around 450BC. It is possible that Celtic ironwork was significantly behind that of the Romans, as apparently their longswords bent very easily and had to be straightened against the ground. On the other hand, since Celtic ironworking was several centuries old, some believe that Roman accounts of this practice mistook this practise, and it was actually a ritual to 'decommission' defeated, dishonoured or damaged weapons.
