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.
