Class: heavy Β· Category: infantry Β· Men per unit: 40
These formidable warriors are recruited from the Salluvii, a powerful tribe leading a Celto-Ligurian confederation in the RhΓ΄ne basin north of Massalia. They are outfitted with the finest weapons and armour they could afford. An iron helmet protects their head, a mail shirt their torso, and a torc adorns their neck. As proud warriors, these swordsmen will seek to distinguish themselves by finding glory in battle. They will open an engagement with a volley of javelins before charging the enemy head on, slashing and hacking their way through with their two-edged swords and defending themselves with their richly decorated thureos shields. Both as warriors and as local guides, they make for excellent mercenaries, serving only those who can afford them.
