The moors of Denmark and North Germany preserve numerous Iron Age Germanic offerings. While bog bodies may be executed criminals (see Tacitus), and individual deposits of weapons and jewelry, hair and animals are thought to be offerings to the gods, other explanations are proposed for the deposits of vast numbers of bows, arrows, armour, swords, shields, horses and even boats.
One explanation is that because many Germanics from Scandinavia had to pass through this region in order to serve in the Roman army beyond the limes, therefore they raided en route and were sometimes killed by locals who offered the defeated forces to the bogs. Indeed many of the bog finds in Denmark are non-local.
The most important Germanic victim find in Germany is at Thorsberg bog. Offerings were sunk there for over 600 years. Most of the items are weapons and equipment from the beginning of the 3rd c. A.D. a time of heavy Roman influence on Germania.
