The Bastarnae Swordsmen were armed with a pair of framae (throwing spears) and the distinctive one-edged slashing sword first adopted by the Germani during the pre-Roman Iron Age. They also carried a basic wooden shield, typically equipped with a large boss allowing the warrior to use the shield as a sort of thrusting weapon as well as for defence.
