    edit: would also fit with "my" theory that this occultus sig is a bull -> Spainiards like Bulls :D

    btw the shield painting does look VERY unelaborate compared to may others. don't get me wrong I love how it looks as if it was self painted by the warriors.

    Edit: I'm a silly Hellen, wrote Arcani with k XD
    To give one little tip, actualy the shoes are of germanic origin:


    Just some simple leather shoes and under some socks if you can call them that.

    Alright, next guess. they have some connection to Germania (their shoes - I can't believe you guys implemented that detail into the model, you obsessed nerds) but they are too dark to be Germans. What if they represent a tribe in the Alpes? Weren't those people darker than their northern neighbours? Also their status as an elite unit is contradictory to their simple attire. Could this be because the mountaineers of the Alpine regions were rather poor? Are we looking upon the finest sons or Raetia?

    Who needs shiny armour and cool weapons when you got skill but at least they have some huge spear heads to make up for that and large shields.
    That's what makes elite units, some may fight light some may not.

    To give one little tip, actualy the shoes are of germanic origin:
    And from alin on TWC:
    LaTene shield designs .
    Thus a border region. Alpine, Noricum, Netherlands or South Germany.

    edit: If there are leather shoes, maybe there are Bog Body... Netherlands, Jutland, Uchte and Windeby in Germany, ...

    They look like Gaizoz Alje, but since they are an elite unit I'll say Dugunthiz Hattisku...
