The Franks and the Goths didn't like each other, did they? Do you think that the traditional German/French rivalry goes back *this* far? I'm not sure, but it seems possible, eh?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Yes, also after the campaign in Gaul, the Roman helmets were changed, because of the experience with superior Celtic helmets. The Romans adapted some of the stylistic and technological differences, and forever after, the Roman helmets were not only more distinctive, but also significantly more effective. Interestingly, the Romans from early experiences in fighting barbarian tribes in the Iberian penensula, adopted the Gladius from such a powerful design of the indiginous tribes of Iberia. (Spain) The Romans were eager to adapt their skills and techniques to anything that they encountered that was superior, which they often combined with their own elements and style into something superior.Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
