The war booty offering ‘Thorsberger Moor’ in Süderbrarup, Schleswig-Flensburg district, is one of the great offerings with deposits of military equipment from Roman Iron Age in middle and northern Europe. The analyses of the horse harnesses from ‘Thorsberger Moor’ produced new results for typology and development of Germanic harnesses. Different types of harnesses based on this research were defined in addition to previous research. The development of Germanic horse harnesses in general is based on different influences from different cultural areas for example the Roman culture which can be shown on many single elements of the harnesses from ‘Thorsberger Moor’. This article focuses on the connections and influences from the North Danubian area on elements of harnesses from ‘Thorsberger Moor’ from the 3rd century A. D.
