Their eyes were blue, their hair, naturally fair or brown, was dyed with some preparation which gave it a red colour.
Some wore their long locks floating over their shoulders, others tied it in a knot on the top of their heads.

They wore a loose short trouser fastened at the knee, resembling the baggy trousers of the modern Turks.
A shirt with open sleeves came halfway down their thighs, and over it was a blouse or loose tunic decorated with ornaments of every description, and fastened at the neck by a metal brooch.

Their helmets were of copper, for the most part ornamented with the horns of stags or bulls.

On the crest of the helmet was generally the figure of a bird or wild beast.

The whole was surmounted by immense tufts of feathers, something like those of our Highland bonnets, adding greatly to the height and apparent stature of the wearers.
The Gauls had a passion for ornaments, and adorned their persons with a profusion of necklaces, bracelets, rings, baldricks, and belts of gold.
Their national arms were long heavy pikes--these had no metal heads, but the points were hardened by fire; javelins of the same description--these before going into battle they set fire to, and hurled blazing at the enemy--lighter darts called mat ras saunions, pikes with curved heads, resembling the halberds of later times; and straight swords.
