This paper examines how the Romans in the early Republic adopted Celtic panoply, in the process abandoning Greek-style hoplite equipment. The first part details the Celtic aspects of the major pieces of Rome's new military equipment: La Tène sword, oval shield (scutum), javelin (pilum), mail armour and Montefortino helmet. The next section seeks possible military and cultural explanations for this transition, suggesting among other factors that the new kit may have been driven by increased recruitment from beyond the narrow hoplite class. The panoply eventually coalesced into a symbol of specifically Roman identity, especially as the Romans deployed distinctively equipped armies into Magna Graecia and the Hellenistic East.

罗马共和国时期的整体和身份

本文探讨了罗马人在共和国早期如何采用凯尔特人的全副武装，并在此过程中放弃了希腊式的重装步兵装备。第一部分详细介绍了罗马新军事装备的主要部件的凯尔特人方面：La Tène 剑、椭圆形盾牌（盾牌), 标枪 (菌丝)、锁甲和蒙特福尔蒂诺头盔。下一部分寻求对这种转变的可能的军事和文化解释，其中包括新装备可能是由于从狭窄的重装步兵类之外增加招募来推动的。全套装备最终融合为罗马人身份的象征，尤其是当罗马人将装备独特的军队部署到大希腊和希腊化​​东方时。
