Class: spearmen · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
Large-scale deployment of naked warriors was a Celtic custom rather than a Germanic one. A notable exception to this were the Cimbrians, whom were under strong Celtic influence, or might even outright have been a Celtic group. The exact reason for why whole contingents of Cimbrians stripped bare before battle is not entirely certain, but it is clear that this display terrified their Roman enemies.
