AUC17 Iberian Light Horse (15mm)

This pack contains four Iberian light cavalry, random mix of javelin and falcata.

Iberian cavalry were certainly trained and equipped to fight en-masse during the Punic wars (Polybios).

The ancient writer Strabo described Hispanic troops wearing helmets with three crests and there are also references to elaborate horse tack. Very little of the above still applied in the last Century BC however, although Iberian mercenaries were always highly regarded by the Romans because being used to constant tribal warfare, they were very skilled and resolute warriors.
