S1, E4: Scandinavia fed off of trade with the Celts (450 - 50 BCE) importing improved cart, ship, and metalworking technology. Contact with Rome (c. 50 BCE–400 CE) enriched the upper classes with fine silver, ceramics, and glass. More ominously, Scandinavians returning from Roman military service brought back advanced weapons and armor.
