Numidian Cavalry

[Timotheos]

These klickies are my attempt at Numidian auxiliary cavalry.

Correct details (what I think I did correctly):
1) The Numidians carried round shields
2) They fought with javelins or spears
3) They didn't wear headgear, but had long hair, even dreadlocks.
4) They didn't put bridles on their horses, but used their knees to guide.

Incorrect details (what I think I did wrong):
1) The Numidians rode barefoot
2) The tunics they wore probably were more white-ish than light blue.
3) I couldn't find klicky dreadlocks and had to settle for the medieval "Prince Valiant" hair-styles!

Very nice customs, Tim!

Your correct and incorrect details seem to be right on.  You got a lot just right and I especially like the earrings.  While they are perhaps a bit too colorful, these might be the more affluent Numidians who have adopted the Roman taste for color.
