Battle of Cartagena 461 CE| Vandals vs Western Roman Empire |Attila Total War Historical Battle 

Thank you, 20 years and 1mln subs will be mine :P

Marcus Mgodioso No, they're a Germanic tribe - at this point a major kingdom. Barbarian was a blanket term used to describe everyone not deemed to be Romano-Hellenic enough, including the Sassanids, the Brythonic and Goidaelic peoples of Britannia, the Germanic peoples rampaging across mainland Europe, the Slavic peoples, the Huns (and other Uralic speakers), the Basques, north African natives (besides Aegyptus), Semitic peoples, and a few dozen other groups that I can't be bothered to list.

King geiseric was the king during this time

Crocodile Kladas No, he means CE. I think you're both stupid and should use BP (Before Present - modern archaeologists scale things back from 1950-ish when radiocarbon dating was invented), but that's because I'm a complete nerd who likes to screw with both sides of an argument.

Basically the only stupid here is you and the right is to use BC and AD now go and eat your breakfast

Crocodile Kladas Oooh. Look at you, trying to force someone to conform to a standard set by your religion. Unfortunately for you, I am of the old ways, and I don't care in the slightest about your opinion. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll keep using BP, because that's what people who actually work with and around historical cultures use.

Crocodile Kladas Oh, and learn how grammar works, pleb. It's called a period. You should use it.

Well i dont care for your opinion too, and my Religion doesn't concern you its none of your business and i dont care too what you and other people are using i care what IM using understand ?

Christopher Gonzales are u sure ?

Marcus Mgodioso yes. There are almost no video games that have it right. Only the Roman Auxiliaries had oval shields in that time period.

Christopher Gonzales didn't know that.good to know

This is Western Roman Empire, few years before it fell. They did not use Scutum anymore during that time.

Christopher Gonzales In the mid 5th century? *Yes they fucking did.* The classic rectangular Imperial scutum of the Principatus era saw peak use in the Dacian Wars, and slowly declined until the late 3rd-early 4th century. The cetratus was the shield of the day - an auxilium would mosy likely use a round shield, as was common among the Germanic tribes. The biggest problem I have is all the Germanic tribes having models of the Sutton Hoo helm - to my knowledge a Vendel Era (6th-8th centuies) find from Anglo-Saxon England - and Celtic anthropomorph swords instead of the simpler spatha hilts they were known for. Oh, and Roman infantrymen wearing parade crests on their helms in battle; that shit fucking triggered me when I first saw it. By the way... since when were pikes used by the Germanic tribes in the 5th century? As far as I know, pikes fell out of use after the Roman conquest of Hellas, and weren't re-introduced in any major way until the late 13th century by the Scots, and later adopted by the Swiss to fight off the Burgundians.
