Celts in Battle:
- They rode horses so that they would appear taller and superior.
- They wore helmets that were either made from bronze or wood. These helmets would have two horns on top of them.
- Celts would put paint on their body and face. The paint that they used was a blue dye called woad.
- They would carry weapons. Shields were either made from metal or from wood that had been covered in leather. Other weapons such as swords, daggers and spears were made of iron.
- They had warrior schools. Most warriors were men but a few of these schools were run by women.
- Men would put lime in their hair to make it appear lighter. They would use this to spike their hair.
- Horns would be blown before battle.
- They would shout battle cries.
- They would chop off the heads of the leaders of their enemies.
