Saxoni (Empire Divided) Economy Tier 3

Commodities Markets

When barbarian tribes were not fighting each other, savvy tribesmen would barter commodities. Cattle and land were the most sought after, since they were both a basis for wealth and social status within a tribe. Barbarian leaders, for example, used their large rural farming areas and great herds to support the warbands they commanded. After the Roman Empire's conquests of some of the Germanic lands, trade between Rome and the native tribes flourished, as the Roman Legions relied on locals to supply them with slaves, leather and iron. As a result of conflict, a frontier zone (the 'Limes Germanicus') was drawn across the Rhine, separating Roman and German lands and establishing border trade. Roman trade wares included metalwork, glassware, wine and cloth – items that brought their new tribal owners much prestige.
