Indeed, the upper two refs are medieval, the third one is Continental Celts and the last one is a reconstruction of an Irish ringfort from c. 500 AD. Not ideal refs 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the precursor of the middle age. Most of Europe during the iron age was based on clans (Celts, Iberians, Thracians etc.) and none were using motte-and-bailey castle. Because this is a development from the middles ages and this has little to do with being Germanic. Your syllogism is not correct. 42 minutes ago, Lion.Kanzen said: ideas. You know better than any.

Genava55 Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think the most valuable helmets at this time are Roman ones: https://www.academia.edu/3990440/Der_germanische_Helm_aus_dem_Thorsberger_Moor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genava55 Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Gelduba helmet from the Batavians, probably a modification on a second-hand helmet: Batavian auxiliary equipment (Gallic Imperial A): Imitation of a Roman helmet found in the Balkans (badly dated although, again a auctioneer thing, It could be related to the Marcomannic Wars): 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Yes. @Genava55 you were right even isn't Germanic from B.C is simple anachronisic mistake. Quote The shape of the shield depends on the time period. Two 3rd century shields were discovered at Thorsbjerg, but they were round. The large weapons sacrifical sites at places like Throsbjerg, Nydam, Vimose, Finnestorp, Illerup etc are the sort of places where this stuff turns up. Just google them up for inventories. Or, if you are from Friesland, go to the Nydamhalle at Schloss Gottorf in Schleswig where you can see the boat, the clothes, the spears, the swords, the bows, arrows, axes etc etc. https://historum.com/threads/germanic-shield-reconstruction.69201/ Edited August 19, 2019 by Lion.Kanzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obskiuras Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Hi, the civic center and the market are not finished, i made a special building for the champion units and the farmstead is the difinitive model based in old concepts.
