How prejudiced were the Romans against the Germanic and Briton tribes...

How prejudiced were the Romans against the Germanic and Briton tribes? Both because of their cultural and because of genetics? Pic related was a Gaulboo at least.

Not at all. When they were subjugated they were treated like every other subject. When they were outside of greater 'Rome' they were treated like the barbarians they, and everyone else for that matter, were.

I remember a historical fun fact thread where someone posted how Julius got pissed with vercingetorix's shit for dragging out the campaign into winter. He sieged a city and eventually the gauls had to open the gates and let the women and children leave to decrease food cosumption, thinking to romans would them through. They didn't, the men wouldn't reopen the gates for fear that the romans would use this to charge into the city. The men watched their wives and children die of cold and hunger and eventually had to give up the city. They were then probably taken as slaves and sent to spend the rest of their lives in mines.

Vae victis, motherfucker.

Julius got a good amount of gauls to side with him without any fighting by showing them the advantages of subjugation. They'd get to share in the advancements, wealth and military protection that rome would provide. Which they needed since gauls and celts have a history of getting asses handed to them in all things military.

They treated them like they treated most people at the time. Allies were allies and enemies were enemies.

>Which they needed since gauls and celts have a history of getting asses handed to them in all things military.
Are these the same Gauls who annihilated the Roman army and sacked Rome?

The Gauls never sacked Rome you idiot that was the Goths

The Gauls never defeated the Romans in battle

No those are the gauls that came much later that you're talking about. Anything prior to that is pathetic. They were peaceful barbarians.

Some gauls joined up with the goths when things started looking bleak for rome. But accounts are rare so their numbers were probably negligible at best.

What is the battle of allia?

Rome claimed to be descended from the refugees of Troy, this, as they could take the moral high ground against the Greeks as they systematically destroyed the Greek world.

All these examples involve Gauls, weren't the Germanic tribes viewed differently?

Yes, as in not even worth conquering. At least the gauls and celts had tons of farmable land.

the germanic invasions truly were justified

Tacitus' account on the Germanic tribes of his time reeks of melancholy. Nostalgia for a past where the Romans themselves were a genuine unspoiled people.

Tacitus was just the equivalent of those muh noble savage idiots now and their attitudes towards the Native Americans.

>celts have a history of getting asses handed to them in all things military

I mean not really. Before big Julie-C the Celts had expanded their culture over a massive area in a relatively short period of time.

You should probably stop getting your history from Total War and listen to this guy

lmao moron

Just gonna leave this here. There is a reason there was never any emperor of non-Mediterranean ancestry.

Caesar was a Swede.

WUZ

For my own part, I agree with those who think that the tribes of Germany are free from all taint of intermarriages with foreign nations, and that they appear as a distinct, unmixed race, like none but themselves. Hence, too, the same physical peculiarities throughout so vast a population. All have fierce blue eyes, red hair, huge frames, fit only for a sudden exertion. They are less able to bear laborious work. Heat and thirst they cannot in the least endure; to cold and hunger their climate and their soil inure them.

See: Tacitus was the exception, not the rule. Julius Caesar criticizes Germanics in Commentarii de Bello Gallico exactly for the reasons Tacitus praises them for. He was pretty much a cuck. There's no reason to believe Romans viewed Germanics positively at all in general ever since Arminius betrayal.

↑ This guy knows what's up

>There's no reason to believe Romans viewed Germanics positively at all in general ever since Arminius betrayal.
It's damage control.
>t-the romans viewed us as their equals!

Indeed. In the early Roman Empire, Caesar talked shit about them. In the late Roman Empire, Visigoths/Ostrogoths and other Germanics were discriminated against which led to many revolts.

About the Gauls now: they were sorta respected, more or less on the level of Iberians (maybe less since Iberians wuz emprahs n shiet), but there was obviously some butthurt early on over them sacking Rome and expanding into North Italy. Caesar's genocidal wars in Gaul probably had something to do with the conserved resentment over it. Moreover, the Gallo-Romans that they viewed more positively later on were probably not the same as the original inhabitants of Gaul due to a large part of their population being genocided in the Gallic Wars and Romans subsequently colonizing Gaul heavily after that.

That's from the book "The Emperor's New Clothes: Biological Theories of Race at the Millennium".

>Joseph L. Graves Jr traces the development of biological thought about human genetic diversity. Greek philosophy, social Darwinism, New World colonialism, the eugenics movement, intelligence testing biases and racial health fallacies are just a few of the topics he addresses. Graves argues that racism has persisted in our society because adequate scientific reasoning has not entered into the equation. He cautions us to think critically about scientific findings that have historically been misused in controversies over racial differences in intelligence, criminal behaviour, disease predisposition and other traits. This book aims to demonstrate that America cannot truly address its racial problems until people understand the empirical evidence that proves separate human races do not exist. With the biological basis for race removed, racism becomes an ideology, one that can and must be erased.

>Gauls never sacked Rome you idiot

Holy shit, learn to republic. 390 b.c., faggot.

Iberian emporers?

Hadrian.

Romans deserved everything germanics did to them.

>Yes, as in not even worth conquering
That's not what Romamanlets were saying pre-Teutoberg

I'm more picking up here that Julian was a retard than that Germanics are bad

Holy shit lmao

The historian Vitruvius said that same thing, and Caesar refers to them as dumb savages by nature in his chronicles of the Gallic War. Even Romans with positive opinions of them, like Tacitus, expressed those sentiments in a backhanded and condescendingly racist way. The Romans simply saw them as inferior peoples.

It's all just dumb to title the picture 'dumb_snowniggers' when if anything it's a huge irony.
It specifically mentions he calls Anglo-Saxons "warlike, barbaric, and cruel" and Africans as intelligent when well, look at the state of the world today.
He wrote this in English ffs.

Angloniggers turned Britain into ancient Detroit.

And now, Germanic nations (counting the eternal Anglos) are the most prosperous in the world while ruling over the Mediterraneans from Brussels.

How the mighty have fallen.

Wasn't that the pivotal point of early roman history? Leading towards their hatred towars the Gauls, aswell as being the reason for the first military reforms, that would subsequently lead them to domination over the Italian peninsula?

Germans were literally discriminated against in the Roman army even pre-Arminius simply because they were German, I love the Romans, but I see no reason to demonize the Germans.

And they in turn will soon be ruled over by irka dirkas and women.

This sounds interesting.
