Makes you wonder what happened to them all after the Roman conquest. Were they all just quietly disposed of in the back garden or was there a collectors market for such things that kept them in circulation for awhile. |

My go-to standard for "barbarian" armies in my Ancients gaming days was a head on a spear. Preferably Roman. |

I'm imagining the adventuring party walking into town through the bustling, crowded market and the cheery cry, "Hedz! Get yer embalmed hedz here!" |

"…they appear to have embalmed them to boot."
– You mean, they played football with them??! Incidentally, the C3 BC Gallic site of Ribemont-sur-Ancre contained the remains of over 1,500 corpses, 500 of which had been actually propped up in ranks with their armour and weapons as a gruesome trophy. No sign of the skulls… |
