<p>[quote user="BigDaddy"]What is referred to as tribes or barbarians, sometimes had elected officials rather than kings and some were considered more civilized than others.[/quote]</p> <p>Those "barbarians" referred to in Roman literature are what was later to be known as the "Germans", who were organized in various tribes, led by elected  chiefs instead of kings. It was Arminius, who finally united the German tribes in a battle against the Romans, kicking them in their backsides and throwing them out, once and for all. The Romans decided not to conquer the barbarians and built a wall to keep them out. History is always repeating itself!</p>
