Britannic Townsfolk

Farmers, artisans and tradesmen from the surrounding regions who have been drafted into the local garrison. Whilst these men have a stout desire to defend their homes, they are poorly equipped, lack military experience and can scarcely be regarded as soldiers.

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.
