Trocmii Gaesatae

(Trocmii Elite Warriors)

The Trocmii are one of the three ancient tribes of Galatia. They fight mostly naked to emphasise their own ferocity and utter lack of fear. Scars and tattoos adorn their skin, and they let their hair grow wild. They carry only spears and shields, and have practically no discipline, but they can cause heavy casualties to most enemies.

A Celtic warrior, with battle-lust in his heart, was an intimidating sight. A warrior who went into battle naked, sure of the protection of his gods, only compounded the unease felt by a foe. Fighting naked was not a particularly original idea or, indeed, all that silly. It was quite practical, because dirty cloth could be forced into wounds causing all kinds of fatal infections. The Romans assumed it granted greater mobility. Celtic warriors, such as the Gaesatae, embraced the idea of fighting naked with gusto: both the Britons and Gauls were convinced of their own battle prowess. They also had absolute faith in Camulus, the god of war. A blessed warrior simply didn't need clothes.
