Viking toolbox found

Yes it is interesting, but something else, which is just as interesting is, that in a number of graves of 'kings' (they were small kingdome then), they have found a lot of Roman art. Like drinking glasses with decorations, likely made in the southern part of Germany, but a place where the Romans were safe.
In the more northern parts of Germany the Romans were nothing but safe, so they made friends with the tribes around these troublesom tribes, to make sure these tribes were 'occupied' - or so the theory goes.
However, to find a toolbox is unique, as it gives an idea of, what kind of tools they had to work with.
