 Josh Becker: Centurion: The Lost Eagle of Varus
“Well,” begins Helmut, “there was always talk that the Cheruscii leader at the time, Herman, who was known in his youth as Arminius, joined the legions as a young man and won his Roman citizenship.
The Cheruscii men, now numbering four instead of five, and looking like they’ve been through hell, are brought before Claudius.

Domination over the Northern territories brought new enemies, in the form of the Ubii and Cheruscii tribes.
These two tribes, closely allied through marriages of the nobility, fought several pitched battles in which the Veracian line was broken by a charge of heavily armoured horsemen.
From that time on, the Ubii and Cheruscii would hold their lands as a gift from the Veracian monarch, provided that they accepted him as their lord and provided military assistance when demanded.

Armed with lances, they guarded flanks and harassed the enemy, using mobility rather than the weight of a charge.
When the Veracians encountered the Cheruscii tribe, however, they found a nation whose primary weapon was the head-on death-or-glory charge, using armoured cavalry to terrify the enemy into submission.

 Europa Barbarorum
Before a battle starts the Ridohárjoz often throw a few framea at the enemy.
Sáhsnotoz means Swordbondsmen and those fighters hail from such warlike tribes as the Cimbrii, the Cheruscii, the Chaucii and the numerous clans of the Suebii confederation.
Swords are not plentiful in germanic lands, due to the expensive iron needed for a such a weapon, and so those fierce and valiant warriors carry their highly valued swords with pride.
