Product description

This Cardiophylax (heart protector) is based on (Celtic) Iberian originals worn around the 3rd century BC by the Iberian tribes such as the Caetrati and the Scutari. Warriors wore them through the many tribal wars and in conflicts against the Roman and Carthaginian empires. The Cardiophylax protected the heart while allowing optimal freedom of movement. Warfare tactics of the time were mainly based on guerrilla warfare. Worn throughout southern Europe, this heart protector features a wolf symbol. This references a typical Indo-European tradition of warrior bands who fought in the cult of a deity or an animal such as the wolf, bear, or boar.
