The Use of Archers in the North Germanic Armies: Evidence from the Danish war booty sacrifices
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research
This article deals with archery equipment within the South Scandinavian area in the period 175-400 AD. A comparison between the South Scandinavian area, the Roman Empire and the rest of Barbaricum results in three main areas of distribution of archery equipment. The increasing importance of the archers in the North Germanic armies in the period in question is seen in connection with the standardisation that can be seen in the military equipment in general within this period.
