In ancient times, the culture of the Germanic peoples to Rome's north and northeast differed from Roman culture in many ways. Their division into tribes, ruled independently by individuals, was one such way. Their lack of any systematic, organized legal process was another. Their theology and religious practices, their language, and their relatively simplistic technology -- these are still other cultural differences.
They had no cities or written laws. Instead, they lived in small communities governed by unwritten customs.
The Germanic tribes learned various skills and practices from the Romans, including advanced military tactics, agricultural techniques, and trade practices. They adopted elements of Roman culture, such as urbanization and the construction of roads and fortifications. Additionally, the tribes gained insights into governance and administration, which influenced their own tribal structures. This interaction ultimately facilitated the transformation of Germanic societies as they came into contact with Roman civilization.

The key differences in culture and warfare tactics between the Romans and Germania during their conflicts were that the Romans had a more organized and disciplined military with advanced weaponry and tactics, while the Germanic tribes relied more on guerrilla warfare and individual bravery.

Roman conquest brought peace and security to the land and trade was able to flourish. The Franks readily adapted to Roman culture and system of government which the Latin Christian Church continued after the fall of the Empire. The Germanic tribes however had no centralized government or even one single king.
