Were the Germans physically superior?
#31
Germanics were not fault of skill or even experience, the principal issue were their skill to adapt and to learn the roman tactics, illyrian, Celtics, Thracians were good warriors too but german warriors were more flexible, "romanized" is a very dangerous word, Rome had into their army a lot of peoples from different parts of the empire, even germans, but again they DONT eat too much meat, their armours are small and the historiographic founts tend to exagerate their measures, germans were somatological taller and stronger even today, Slavic peoples are strong too, is genetic, the early roman army with only roman citizens were a very small and tiny bunch of young soldiers, germanic peoples live always in a middle of a war, fighting each other and on a very hard enviorment they fought from the "guerrilla" tactic to the massive battle formation across the time, romans were inteligent to use science and a hard discipline to take any adventage, never believe on the roman numbers, archaeology denies that, is very hard to belive an roman army fighting against "80, 000 barbarians" these people were not so numeorus, the germanic armies were smaller in number.
