With our amazing Iberian Cardiophylax, feel like the true Caetrati or Scutari from ancient Iberia while you charge fiercely on your Roman or Carhtiginian Opponents with your fellow reenactor friends. Caetrati were true masters of guerilla warfare, and their light Caetra shiels made them more agile and nimble in skirmishes than the more heavily protected Scutari, whose larger shields made them more suited to hold the line. But both types of troops proved their value countless times during the Punic Wars in Hannibal’s army. While this legendary general used the celts almost as expendable fierce shock troops and regarded his precious battle-hardened and highly disciplined Spanish infantry and cavalry as “elite” troops, just a glance at their impressive achievements over several centuries is enough to understand why!

This Iberian chest armour is crafted from the highest quality GENUINE LEATHER and features a PURE BRASS Iberian wolf motif firmly riveted onto the chest piece. Its upper and lower belt has a length of 58.5cm and 39cm, respectively. The chest piece has a diameter of approximately 25cm.
