Speutagardaz could also be possible seeing the huge spearheads, no reason to think they would use the small strap shields from EBI. If they were front liners then they would definately use an large shield. Romans said the Cherusci front liners used large spears and those behind ordinary spears. So could be possible I gues. Didn't Tacitus or someone else said that it wasn't weird that iron was sparse because some Germanics used huge spearpoints?(Speutagardaz?)

At least nice to know its an Germanic unit ;).
Define germanic unit.
