Ok, what are they?

From what I get from my miniatures, they appear to be skirmishers who threw javelins, but could double as light infantry in a pinch.

But someone on EB said that they were a Celtic inspiration, so could they have fought with longswords as shock infantry as well, or did they do the above, or did they do both?
