Geats Military Tier 5

Standardised Equipment

Standardised equipment turns a rabble into an army.

Burial sites belonging to barbarian warriors often contain beautiful and intricate weapons: swords with jewel encrusted hilts, beautifully carved axes and shields made of precious metal. Historians currently believe that this was not the norm within tribal society; intricate and richly decorated weapons were reserved for the elite and may never have been used in war, as few bare the marks of being used in battle. How then were the men of the tribe armed and armoured? There is evidence to suggest that by AD300 some barbarian peoples had adopted the Roman method of supplying standardised weapons to their armies, produced in specific factories known as fabricae.
