The horse in the Celtic domain received high status and the Celts were accomplished riders, highly regarded by the Roman cavalry. In Roman art the earliest portrayal of horsemen is of the Dioscuri twins Castor and Pollux on Republican coins around 211 BC. Emperors were also frequently depicted on horseback for public monuments. In Roman culture the rite and sacrifice of the October Horse was to ensure a future harvest, and this combined with the god Mars military power providing protection against enemies reveals the importance of the armed horseman. Celtic gods were also identified with Mars wearing his armour but also sometimes portrayed naked. In Eastern Britain there was a “Cult of the Horseman” with a significant number of finds of bronze figures and enamelled plate brooches being discovered, especially around the Sleaford area. The horseman held high status in Britain with a connection to the Roman god Mars and also to hunting.
