CCC IX - War Altar

War altars were used in battle as a means to conduct religious ceremonies on the battlefield, and also as a rallying point for the troops. They typically were surrounded by an elite guard and trumpeters whose blasts encouraged the troops to fight. The wagon usually contained an altar, and most often carried a sacred relic.
