Vestal Guards are tough, experienced spearmen hand-picked to guard the Vestal Virgins in Rome. They are worthy adversaries for any enemy. They carry a long "hoplite-style" spear (the hasta) which is used to thrust, a long shield and a gladius. They are well armoured � hardly surprising, given that they are also drawn from the richest section of society.
