Ahhh, intriguing indeed.

Well in a side note, what weapons and gear would they have used? I'm pretty sure they werent "handed out" weaponry, so would it be the usual weapons of the area like the celtic longswords or tabar axes?

Would they run around like shirtless madmen to try and show their bravery?

Would they actually use harpoons and stab people with those pointy, pointy, death dealing sticks? (was the harpoon even invented yet?)

Or were they just levies, who raided the coasts in small barges like some other pirates at the time, or did they actually have small fleets of triremes?
