Arevaci Tribal Council Missile Infantry

Iberi Velites

The Romans called Iberian skirmishers 'caetrati' after their 'caetra'-style shields; there are no records of what, if anything, the Iberians fighting in this style called themselves. The caetra was a small, round, wooden buckler no more than sixty centimetres across. The central handgrip and protruding metal boss meant that it could be used both defensively for protection and offensively to punch enemies in close combat. An experienced skirmisher would, of course, try to stay out of hand-to-hand combat as much as possible, and rely on his javelins to kill the enemy from a safe distance.
