Ancient Germanic Society: a Game of Power

Video Description

Ancient tribal Germanic society evolved in a rather uncomplicated and natural way, for there was no single higher authority and neither much external interference (up until the Romans showed up at least). In this video we will focus on the structures and mechanics in Germanic society that most powered that evolution, and helped shape the culture of the ancient people we nowadays refer to as Germanics. This overview will discuss topics like governing, democracy, leadership, war and warriors in ancient germanic society and much and more. 00:00 Introduction 02:34 Channel intro 02:45 Julius Caesar and the Germanics 04:55 Lifestyle 05:59 Governance in small-scale society 07:56 Evolution to large-scale society 10:14 Tribal council and assembly 12:12 Tribal confederation 12:42 Role and significance of war 14:35 Warleaders in power 16:58 Outro Please consider supporting us on Patreon, every little bit helps! https://www.patreon.com/ImperiumRomanumYT And if you’re a true history buff, you don’t want to miss out on Ancient Warfare magazine! www.ancient-warfare.com Make sure to check out Erve Eme archeological park in Zupthen The Netherlands! https://erve-eme.com/ Music: Rome Total War 1 Jeff van Dyck Rome Total War 2 Richard Beddow Adrian von Ziegler Graphic motion design: German Reber
