Speutagardaz
Among the elites, they were famous spearmen, the Speutagardaz. They were skilled enough to form impressive shieldwalls with five meters spears, a rather unusual feature. The Celtic phalanx, as it was in 300 bc, presented a wall of three to two and a helf meter spears, with long spearheads. Speutagardaz used long spears with a "short and narrow head".Among the elites, they were famous spearmen, the Speutagardaz.
