This excerpt was taken from The "Germania" detailing ancient Germanic warriors and the weapons they used - written by the Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus around 98 AD and originally entitled 'On the Origin and Situation of the Germans' (Latin: De origine et situ Germanorum) - It is a historical and ethnographic work on the Germanic peoples outside the Roman Empire.

The Germania survives in a single manuscript that was found in Hersfeld Abbey in 1425. This was brought to Italy, where Enea Silvio Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II, first examined and analyzed the book. This sparked interest among German humanists, including Conrad Celtes, Johannes Aventinus, and Ulrich von Hutten and beyond.
