>I'm talking about the individual soldiers, their average height was 5'6" and weight 155 lbs. They were tiny small Manlettes, just like modern day Greeks. Each encounter with the Germanic tribes (that eventually destroyed them) has the Roman's themselves going ON AND ON about how HUGE and muscular and physically imposing the Germans were. That's not how the Roman's won fights, they won because they dug trenches and made fortified camps EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. They'd spend days before a battle altering the terrain. They fight shoulder to shoulder, individual skill meant nothing.
Romans were physically small compared to Gauls and Germanic tribes but they were not nerds. They were a pragmatic militaristic culture. They had contempt for sophisticated and learned Greek culture, which they saw as faggotry that would corrupt their morals.
