Of course they were not much of a civilization. Pretty much barbarians. Warlike, illiterate. No use for Romans. The Romans had a terrible time keeping them at bay, even in the Alps and northern Italy. Close to military disaster several times.

Maybe you have been reading too much Roman history? {ggg}.
Were the Romans Barbaric with their centuries long blood lust for Christians and others in the Coliseum? Were the Romans Warlike? Illiteracy becomes a relative thing when keeping written records was specifically prohibited.
