The Leopard Company takes its name from the legendary Leopard of Luccini which is a badge and mascot of the city. It is said that this leopard was the guardian of the divine twins Lucan and Luccini, founders of the city. The Leopard Company sports burnished brass armour, very ornate muscled cuirasses with a leopard's face embossed on the breastplate over white uniforms and white crests. They wear gilded or real wreaths of laurel leaves around their helmets. The banner bearer and drummer wear leopard pelts, draped over their shoulders. Their banner shows a leopard with two heads and three tails. Armed with pikes, they form a deadly spiked wall that are a cavalryman's worst nightmare!
