Celtic Dagger

The Celtic people lived during the Iron Age, dominating most of western and central Europe. Despite sharing a common language and cultural features, all peoples were warriors so they faced each other. Tribal warfare was more focused on raids and hunting that on organized territorial conquest, devoid of military science. The weapons were almost sacred to the ancient Celts. One for the battlefield, more sober and functional, and other ceremonial, much more elaborate. The Celtic warriors wearing armor, shield, spear, javelin, and even harnesses for horses. But where artisans showed the most creativity was in the grips of the ultimate weapon: the sword. They decorated their large handles with precious stones, ivory or enamel. They adorned the swords and helmets with original human figures or animal heads.
