Class: spearmen · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
The Bellovaci are among the greatest warriors of the Belgae confederation. Due to the remote nature of their homelands, armour is not very common, so these warriors have learned to do without it. By remaining unarmoured like many Belgae, they have honed their abilities of speed, ambush, and stealth to do great deeds in war and in the face of combat. Despite this, they have finely crafted Gallic helmets and shields to bring to battle. They rely upon the javelin to do its deadly work as it flies into the ranks of enemy warriors. After these are used, they will close for hand-to-hand combat most eagerly! These are excellent medium infantry to have present on the battlefield.
