Bagaudae are a type of melee infantry in Total War: Attila.

Description[]

"A shared grievance unites people in a unique and enduring way."

Bagaudae were peasant warriors from the western extremes of the Roman Empire who revolted against their Roman governors during the 3rd century AD. Interestingly, their name means 'fighters' in the Celtic language, but 'brigands' in Latin, reflecting the opposing viewpoints of the Romans and many of their subject peoples. Feeling exploited by Rome for cheap labour and excessive taxation, the bagaudae first rose up in AD284. Although their insurrection was stamped out, various bagaudae groups continued to harass the Romans well into the 5th century, compounding the problem of the barbarian incursions that eventually led to the Western Empire's collapse.
