2:10Now PlayingHow did the Ancient Germanic tribes fight with so little iron? 🌲 Armed mostly with the framea (short spear) and large shields with iron bosses, these infantry-heavy armies relied on ferocity over equipment. When they weren't at war, they gathered for the "Thing"—a massive inter-tribal assembly where kings were chosen and laws were made by the clashing of spears. #GermanicHistory #AncientWarfare #HistoryShorts #Tacitus #GermanicTribes #MilitaryHistory #Warriors #TheThing #IronAge
