Archaeologists and biologists have analyzed tiny spoon-shaped artifacts found in Roman-era Germanic warrior burial sites, suggesting they may have been used to dispense stimulants during battles. These spoons, often found with weaponry, indicate possible drug use among barbarians, challenging the assumption that alcohol was their only drug. The study, published in Praehistorische Zeitschrift, explores potential stimulants like opium and nightshades, highlighting the historical use of drugs for medicinal and ritual purposes.
