Abstract
In this article we present some of the most characteristic possessions (and status symbols) of sixth-century Germanic foederati in the Upper Moesian limes – their weapons. According to archaeological dating and historical records, the finds from the Jakovo, Batajnica, Singidunum, Margum and Viminacium cemeteries may be first ascribed to the Heruli, settled in the area from c. 512. The article studies weapon combinations in graves and recapitulates Herulic military practices. Our evidence reveals a clearly differentiated and internally stratified community with a privileged position, derived from its role in the defence of the border and engagement in numerous military campaigns of the Empire.
