|
The Heruli, as most of you know, were a group of Germanic peoples who together with other tribes wreaked havoc in Europe during the first millennium AD, and probably originated in southern Scandinavia were they later are pressumed to have returned.
Are there any records or archaeological findings of Heruli weaponry and tactics?
