Newjo Cingetoi

(Late Boii Warriors)

This late evolution of the Cingetos is more heavily armoured and professional: chainmail is now more usual, and their helmet is an evolution of previous models like the light Coolus, which is reinforced and heavier, as well as the Port and Agen variants. Cingetoi are now front line infantrymen, using a longsword as their main weapon.

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.
