Roman battlefield found deep inside Germany
yes roman laws did prohibit trading arms to the barbarians
but
corruption was endemic and its not difficult to see corrupt civil or army officials selling them
also when germanic troops were demobilised from roman armies would the romans have tried to take back weapons that the warriors had conceivably paid for ?
also battlefield spoil even from germanic defeats

at the end of the day "where theres a will there a way"
