Primary Armour = Flesh\n\nThe Veneti are a tribe primarily known for its naval strength. They possess a secret in their fighting ranks in the form of their skirmishers. Despite their tribes main preoccupation with trade, in Gallic fashion, they are strong in warrior tradition, and they train excellent skirmishers for this ancient tradition. As with their brothers and often rivals further inland, these warriors are not trained to use their blades in hand to hand combat with great results. That kind of training is not emphasized for them. Where they show their greatest skill is with their javelins. As young boys, they used smaller versions of their javelins in the lakes, streams, and coastal inlets to harpoon fish and catch other small aquatic animals. With this history behind them they perform admirably with the javelin, much to the displeasure of the enemies they face.\n\nThe Veneti were renown for their impressive, vast fleet in western Gaul. Like their southern neighbours dwelling in the Pictones tribe, lands belonging to the Veneti sit astride the common trade routes that connected Britannia, Gaul and the somewhat Romanized region of southern Gaul, Provence, into a network of goods and wealth. Their many trading ships and contacts in Britannia allowed them a huge portion of the profits that originated in that land, virtually controlling the tin and metals trade and all the shipping with Britannia.\n\nThough complete descriptions of Veneti sailing vessels are unknown, The Greek geographer Strabo records that their sails were made of leather and could obviously make the long, often stormy voyage to Britannia. One inch nails helped to secure the one foot thick beams to the frame of their ships. Strabo recorded that their ships were exceptionally sea worthy, very well suited for the stormy weather patterns and gales that occur often of their coastal trade routes, exceeding the Roman ships in those categories of naval ability. The Veneti ships could come sail much closer to the shore than the Roman ships. Its possible that side rudders similar to the ones Romans made were used to maneuver and steer their fleet.\n\nIn war Caesar was successfully able to storm several of their towns. However, at the last moment, the Veneti always managed to vacate and escape by sea to an island or peninsula. The Veneti participated in the first recorded naval battle of the Atlantic in 56 B.C. Against Julius Caesar their fleet of 220 ships went head to head with the fleet of Caesar off the coast of Morbihan Bay, whose little Roman caravels couldn't even ram the larger Veneti ships. The small Roman ships sat lower and had less height which allowed the Celts to hurl javelins down atop the Roman troop in their ships. In response to this weakness, the legionaries used hooks attached to long poles to cut the rope and sails of the Veneti fleet. Being powered only by oars, this put the Veneti at a disadvantage. One by one the boats were surrounded and boarded, it's crew overwhelmed, and then set on fire. This happened many times over the course of the battle. Eventually, the ships that were still intact were set to escape, but the wind that was present throughout the battle suddenly diminished and died, leaving their craft helpless. In the end, Caesar executed the leaders of the tribe, and had the survivors sold as slaves.
