Art /⚔/ Historic Warriors: Iberian Soldier

Greetings people!
Behold, an iberian warrior, yes that people from Hispania that gave a lot of problems to the Romans.
Well, as you can see, this one is very rich, don't you think?
Anyways, hope you enjoy!


If you don't who were the Iberian tribes, here is Wikipedia's article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberians

 

Gr8... yeah thats your art :3

 

Bumpity bump.

 

Nice! Love the shield design, simple yet effective.

 

There a few more like these.

 

Excellent art! Just one question though, what's up with the three spears carried with the shield? My first impression would be that they would be carried with the shield in the same hand, until I realized that might be rather inconvenient. Are they stabbing weapons or are they throwing spears, like the roman pilum?

 

Yep, they are javelins. The iberians (and celtiberians) used a javelin entirely made of iron called soliferreum (not showed in this case).

 

Oh! Thanks!
