[Oschisms]

I thought some of the ancient Celts did battle naked as well.

I could easily be wrong about this, but that was my impression- i don't remember where from.

[gcruse]

The Insubres and the Boii wore trousers and light cloaks, but the [Celts] Gaesatae in their overconfidence had thrown these aside and stood in front of the whole army naked, with nothing but their arms; for they thought that thus they would be more efficient, since some of the ground was overgrown with thorns which would catch on their clothes and impede the use of their weapons.'

Heh.  I'd rather my trousers catch the thorns than my naked skin.  Maybe that's why we don't speak Celtish today.
