Gallic Light Cavalry

Summary
Light Cavalry are the earlier type of cavalry available to the Gallic faction group, being a brigade of weak but cheap and numerous cavalry.

"A critical part of any army, cavalry are more expensive to maintain but can travel quickly and provide essential support to a slower moving battleline. Light cavalry are most effective as scouts, raiders or in direct combat against light infantry."

- In-game Description

History
Though the early Gauls used chariots, these fell out of use in Continental Europe relatively early on (but still persisted in Celtic Britain by the time of Caesar's invasion), and there are no records of them being employed in the hilly terrain of Italy to which they aren't very well suited. The later Gauls are known for employing cavalry, and usually fielded them in much larger amounts than their Greek, Latin or Sabellic enemies.

Tactics
Gallic Light Cavalry are, individually, the weakest cavalry in the game, having even weaker melee stats than Mounted Javelineers. However, they have a much higher brigade size than other cavalry while also being cheaper and very fast to move.

As such, Gallic Light Cavalry excel in their quantity rather than quality, and can still be used in larger amounts to provide capable cavalry support for Gallic armies in the early- and mid-game and swarm the enemy's flanks, though they shouldn't be risked against heavier units.
