Auxilia Said:<br>
"6 foot is considered tall. Now if the Roman legionaries averaged around 5'10" to 6', how tall would the Celts and Germans have been in order for battle records to state that the Romans were greatly intimidated by both the ferocity and size of the 'barbarians'?"<br>
<br>
Six Roman feet is less than six modern feet. From what I gather this equals roughly 5'8". This height is a bit more modest...especially for an Italian! <p></p><i></i>
