The Zulu warrior's role at Rorke's Drift highlights the unique military structure of the Zulu nation, where all men served from ages 19 to 40 in a citizen army. Each regiment was distinguished by specific jewelry and headgear, and the warriors were equipped with two types of spears: a throwing spear and a broad-bladed stabbing spear, reminiscent of the Roman Gladius. Their large, color-coded cowhide shields, varying by regiment age, facilitated battlefield recognition for commanders, showcasing the Zulus' strategic organization and combat readiness.
