Saxoni (Empire Divided) Missile Infantry

Saxoni Bows

Arguably the first time the 'Saxoni' - an aggressive Germanic tribe - was mentioned was by the Egyptian writer Claudius Ptolemy in 'Geographia', during the 2nd century AD. At the time, they were thought to occupy land to the north of the Lower Elbe river, where modern-day Hamburg stands today. The Emperor Julian mentioned the Saxoni again, in AD 356, during a speech against his rival, Magnentius, with whom they had allied. In the 3rd century AD, pressure on the Roman Empire's northern frontier, due to alarmingly-frequent Saxoni raids, led to dedicated defence of the 'Saxon Shore' on both sides of the English Channel. Several branches of Saxoni, along with their neighbours the Angles and Jutes, migrated and settle in the former Roman province of Britannia, eventually becoming known as the 'English'.
