The Celts are a group of Indo-European peoples, the birthplace of which was probably the area of today's southern Germany and Bohemia, and central-western France. The greatest expansion of the Celts reached the so-called the La Tene period, the beginning of which is dated around 450-400 BC and the end of which is 150-100 BC. During this period, the Celts conquered all of today's France, the British Isles, a large part of Spain, but also reached the Balkans and even Asia Minor! It is worth adding that the Celts developed a high-standing culture, with an extensive religious system, with extensive defensive settlements (oppida), the area of which sometimes covered several hundred hectares, but also with highly developed iron processing. This, of course, influenced the Celtic military. First of all, it should be said that the Celts were often perceived as very brave warriors, ready to make considerable sacrifices on the battlefield. At the time of entering into military contacts with Rome, i.e. in the 4th century BC, during the conquest of northern Italy in the 3rd century BC and during Caesar's battles in Gaul (58-52 BC), the foot Celtic warriors were armed with spears and shields - most often made of wood, sometimes reinforced with iron and decorated. The richer ones also used very good-quality iron swords. Often, helmets are also appropriate as a defensive weapon. It is almost certain that the Celts did not have an army as organized as the Romans, and their army - especially the infantry - was called up to arms by family clans and by social class and financial capacity of a single warrior.

Teutons (Latin Germani) is a group of Indo-European peoples who initially lived in central and northern Europe, using Germanic languages. The name "Teutons" was probably first used in Latin sources at the turn of the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, and later it entered Roman historiography. Examples include the works of Julius Caesar. The Germans were most often dangerous neighbors of the Roman Empire. Rome interacted with them on a larger scale around 100 BC, when Germanic tribes (including the Teutons) invaded the Empire. They were repulsed, among others as a result of the Battle of Aquae Sextiae (102 BC), but caused Rome a lot of trouble. Also in the later period, they turned out to be a difficult opponent, as evidenced by the Roman defeat in the Teutoburg Forest of AD 9, inflicted on the Empire by several Germanic tribes led by Arminius. They also caused the Roman Empire considerable difficulties in the course of the Marcomannic wars during the reign of Marcus Aurelius in the years 167-180 AD. Finally, the invasions of the Germans turned out to be the proverbial "nail in the coffin" for the Roman empire in the 4th and 5th centuries AD, when tribes such as the Visigoths, Ostrogoths and Vandals poured into the territory of the Western Roman state. It is worth adding that throughout this period (from the 1st century BC to the 4th-5th century AD) the Germans did not develop a regular army modeled in one way or another on the Roman war machine. It was not until the 4th-5th centuries BC that the Germanic troops began to be slightly better organized. The Germans formed rather loose units composed of warriors, probably numbering from about 100 to about 1000 people. Initially, they were primarily interested in looting, only in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. The Germans wanted to settle in the territories controlled by Rome.

The Sasi (English: Saxons, German: Sachsen) is a Germanic tribe that in the late antiquity and early medieval period inhabited the territory of today's northern Germany at the mouth of the Elbe, and which in the 5th and 6th centuries, along with the tribes of Angola and Jutes, invaded Britain, establishing three kingdoms there: Wessex, Sussex and Essex. Probably at the same time, already in Britain, the tribes of the Saxons and Angles came into close interaction with each other, creating the Anglo-Saxons. In the early phase of their history, the Saxons were primarily foot units, whose warriors were armed with spears, shields, helmets, and the Saxon-specific one-handed and single-edged swords (sometimes classified as knives) called saks. It is worth adding that there are often two types of saxes: skramasaks (with a blade length of 30 to 70 cm) and langsax (with a blade length of up to 1 meter). In the Anglo-Saxon period (from the 5th-6th centuries), the military evolved in Great Britain. When King Harald joined the Battle of Hastings in 1066 in his army, one can indicate both selected units of huscarls, recruited mainly from the Scandinavians, as well as from the fyrd, i.e. soldiers of the mass movement of much less combat value.
