      Romans didn't invent anything. They learned how to reverse engineer ships from the Carthaginians. Aqueducts were invented by the Minoans who were taken over by the Myceneans aka early Greeks.

      Germanics didn't really exist in the "Bronze" Age. The first Germanic language as such is from 5th century BCE, that is, when the supposed "Iron" Age had already at least some 500 years. The closest thing are the Cimmerians, who spoke a very early form of Indo-European and are most likely the direct ancestors of the Germanics. There are also the Scythians who were very close to the Cimmerians, and who in antiquity were always identified or confused with Germanics, but the Scythians only lent a few loanwords to Proto-Germanic and their language is vastly diffeent and belongs to a completely separate Indo-European family. Both Cimmerians and Scythians were well known from fending invasions from Hittites, Assyrians and Persians (Cyrus the Great died against the Scythian queen Tomyris according to Herodotus). Germanics also adopted Celtic tactics and technology very early on in their history. They were in fact very undistinguishable from Celts to the point the Romans confused them about as much as they confused them with Scythians.

    Some romans reported that the celtic metal work was fantastic, but their iron was trash- and their warriors would often have to straighten their swords on the ground as they would bend. Pretty sure it was Polybius that made the claim, and it's pretty disputed. Interesting regardless!

      @@newg4515 so there would def be elements that would be similar. Thing to remember is britonic celtic culture was although similar different to say Gaulic or Asia minor celtic culture. However there would def be recognisable elements between each culture as they were all ultimately celts. For example the spiked up white hair and the tartan clothing. I suspect (I'm no expert in late Romano britannia that's tbh more of my mother's specialty good author BTW check her out). I can imagine that there would be a substantial roman influence on them due to proximity however as the Roman legions got more germanized its not to far stretch to say that some German arms and armour may have been adopted. As I said no expert!

      Their culture, administration and laws are inspired from Etruscans and Greeks, while the army inspired from anyone that had useful things to offer. Everybody played a part in developing Europe but the Romans did everything better or just used it better.
