Short description

Iberian Slingers were capable skirmishers, adept at peppering their enemy with stone shot.

Description

The Iberians were accomplished irregular fighters, and well accustomed to a life of raiding and ambush in the rugged terrain of the Iberian Peninsula.

The petty Iberian kings and chieftains of southern and eastern Iberia were able to muster capable slingers from amongst the lower socio-economic classes in times of war.

These Slingers carried the caetra, the distinctive small round Iberian shield found throughout the peninsula. For close fighting, these Iberians relied upon a short sword carried in a richly inlaid scabbard. These men wore a simple tunic; the strapping harness around his torso is found in votive statuettes found in Iberia.

These men went into battle bare-headed, and tied their long hair into locks. Others tied their hair behind the neck; others gathered it into a net, or even in a pad on top of the skull, for extra protection.
