20 Celts in Battle
21 The Celts The Roman historian Diodorus notes: Their aspect is terrifying...their hair is blond, but not naturally so: they bleach it, to this day, artificially, washing it in lime and combing it back from their foreheads. They look like wooddemons, their hair thick and shaggy like a horse's mane. Some of them are clean shaven, but others... shave their cheeks but leave a moustache that covers the whole mouth and, when they eat and drink, acts like a sieve, trapping particles of food...
22 The Celts The way they dress is astonishing: they wear brightly colored and embroidered shirts, with trousers called bracae and cloaks fastened at the shoulder with a brooch.... These cloaks are striped or checkered in design, with the separate checks close together and in various colors. [The Celts] wear bronze helmets with figures picked out on them, even horns...while others cover themselves with breast-armor made out of chains. But most content themselves with the weapons nature gave them: they go naked into battle...[where] weird, discordant horns were sounded, deep and harsh voices, they beat their swords rhythmically against their shields.
