Quote:Which I don't know is why celts used their swords on the right side, since they had sometimes very long swords, which are quite difficult to draw from right, and they didn't use semi-circular shields and didn't fight in such close formations as Romans.

Potentially for display? With the sword on the right side and shield in the left hand you can see the extensively decorated scabbards. On the left the shield would hide it from view.

Also keep in mind that Celtic swords were no longer than the Hispaniensis until very late on.
