Scandinavia
General Region
Of the tribes in Scandinavia in the early years, the most powerful were the Svear or Sviar whom Tacitus mentions.
Contents
Sweden and the adjacent lands were lucky enough to not be subject to major intrusions of outside people but the period from 400 CE to 700 CE was still a period which saw a considerable degree of cultural change. Tacitus mentions the tribe of the Svear or Sviar as being strong in men, ships and war-gear. Scandinavia was a region rich in agricultural products and growing political influence.
The end of the Roman rule in the west released a large stream of gold into nothern Europe and a large portion of this found its way into Scandinavia. The growing political importance of this area is evidenced by the siting of three huge mounds at Gamla Uppsala, a focus of religious as well as kingly power. Visit the lands of Scandinavia
