They formed an alliance with the Cherusci , the Marsi Germanic Marsi , the Chatti , Sicambri , and the Chauci , under the leadership of Arminius , that defeated the Roman Empire Roman General Publius Quinctilius Varus Varus and annihilated his three legions at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 9 AD . A large bronze and granite monument to Arminius colloquially known as Hermann The German was erected near Detmold in the 19th century and portrays a rather Romantic interpretation of this Germanic chieftain with a winged helmet, his short sword held aloft in victory, and a Roman Standard ground beneath his foot. Six years later, one of the generals serving under Germanicus , Lucius Stertinius L. Stertinius defeated the Bructeri and devastated their lands. Among the booty captured by Stertinius was the eagle standard of Legio XIX that had been lost at Teutoburg Forest. Refusing to bow to Roman rule, the Bructeri in 69 70 participated in the Batavian rebellion . The best known of the Bructeri was their wise woman Veleda , the spiritual leader of the Batavi rising her subsequent fate is not known, but it is generally believed that she was captured by the Romans.

The name, Chaemae , were an ancient Germanic tribe cited by Ptolemy in his Geography 2.10 as Chaimai , which also can be written in English, Khaimai . Ptolemy tells us next to nothing about them, only that they were next to the Bructeri . That little turns out to be a great deal. It is often suggested that the Chaemae and the Banochaemae are alternative names for the Chamavi , based on a common derivation. We know, however, that the Chamavi and their neighbors forcibly expelled the Bructeri from their original lands, which became Hamaland after the Chamavi moved in. The two peoples are not likely to have had neighborly feelings for each other now. All three names probably come from common Germanic haimaz, home , from Indo European tkei , settle. Where the Cham avi reflect the ham form English ham let , the other two reflect the heim form as in Bo haem ia . The monophthong ization was an Ingvaeonic innovation. We are more familiar with ham because a large part of the lowlanders moved to Britain. The Chaemi may reflect a more ancient distribution of people calling themselves settlers or natives. Why they would have done so remains obscure, but the name is of the same type as hed English heath , human and possibly but less certainly man .

Tacitus op. cit. wikisource Germania XXXIV 34 locates them to the west of the Frisii . Origins Tacitus says 35 that the Chamavi had moved into the lands of the Bructeri .

As these same neighbors became the later Salian Franks , the consensus mentioned is the first known agreement among them.

One answer is that they occupied the coastal plain to the north Germans moved almost invariably from north to south . Many settlements are named Hamm, including possibly a modern city, Hamburg .

Auxilia palatina sing. auxilium palatinum were infantry units of the Late Roman army , first raised by Constantine I as part of the new field army he created in about 325. Some of the senior and probably oldest of these units had special names such as Cornuti or Brachiati others were named after the tribes from which they were recruited many of these in eastern Gaul, or among the German barbarians . These units all became palatine units when a distinction was drawn between Palatini Roman military palatina and the remainder of the comitatenses around 365. There is no direct evidence for the strength of an auxilium , but A.H.M. Jones History of the Later Roman Empire , Blackwell, Oxford, 1964 p 682 estimates that it may have been 600 or 700.

Dreingau is the medieval name of one of five Saxons Saxon Gau country subdivision pagi i.e., boroughs in what today is the M nster region M nsterland in Westphalia .

M nster, 1825 http books.google.at books?id nZQAAAAAcAAJ&output html Google Books ref The name came into use around the year 800, and is hardly used anymore today. It has survived only in the name of the town Drensteinfurt , and in the name of a regional newspaper, the Dreingau Zeitung . Location Image Dreingau approx location.png thumb px Approximate location of the Dreingau in today s North Rhine Westphalia The origins of the name Dreingau are disputed it might derive either from a medieval term denoting a fertile land, or might describe a dry land . Considering that the Saxon pagi still held extensive marshlands at this time, both interpretations might well be equivalent. Although the sources are frequently inconsistent or ambiguous in assigning various places to the Dreingau, the consensus is that the pagus was of roughly triangular shape, with the Lippe River Lippe between Lippstadt and L nen forming the southern border, and with the city of Greven as the anchor point in the North. Close to the Lippe river was the large forest Ihtari later known as Ihteri and then Ichtern . South of the Dreingau was the pagus Bracbant , home to tribes of the Bructeri to the West was Bursibant around Rheine other neighboring areas were the Skopingau centered on Sch ppingen , and the Stevergau around Coesfeld . Notable places mentioned in medieval documents in the context of the Dreingau include the village Wernina now Werne , Seliheim now Selm , and Liesborn Abbey but interestingly there is little mention of M nster .

The Sicambri var. Sicambers, Sicambres, Sugambri or Sicambrians were a Germanic people living on the right bank of the Rhine river , near where it passes out of Germany and enters what is now called the Netherlands at the turn of the first millennium. Originating in the Germanic peoples Germanic Celts Celtic contact zone cf. Nordwestblock , the region they lived in had become Franks Frankish by the 3rd century, associated with the Low Franconian Salian Franks Salians . History The Sicambri appear in history around 55 BC, during the time of conquests of Gaul by Julius Caesar and his expansion of the Roman Empire . Caesar wrote in his Commentarii de Bello Gallico that at the confluence of the Rhine and Meuse River a battle took place in the land of the Menapii with Tencteri and Usipetes . When these two peoples were routed by him their cavalry escaped and found asylum north of the river with the Sicambri. Caesar then built a bridge across the river to punish the Sicambri. Claudius Ptolemy located the Sicambri, together with the Bructeri Bructeri Minores , at the most northern part of the Rhine and south of the Frisii who inhabit the coast north of the river. Strabo located the Sicambri next to the Menapii, who dwell on both sides of the river Rhine near its mouth, in marshes and woods. It is opposite to these Menapii that the Sicambri are situated . This information places the Sicambri near the lower Rhine in or near what is now called the Netherlands. When Caesar defeated the Eburones , he invited all of the peoples that were interested to destroy the remainder. The Sicambri responded to Caesar s call. They took large amounts of cattle, slaves and plunder. Caesar commented that these men are born for war and raids , No swamp or marsh will stop them . After the raid on Eburones they moved on against the Romans. They destroyed some of Caesars units, in revenge of his campaign against them and when the remains of the legion withdrew into the city Atuatuca the Sicambri w ... more details

Orphan date February 2009 The Vidrus fluvius , Greek Ouidros potamos , is a river of Ptolemy s Geographia Ptolemy Geographia 2.10 located in greater Germany . Its exact location is not known for certain, but it must be in the lowlands. Ptolemy places the mouth of the Vidrus next to the mouth of the Rhine . Next in order follows a port, Marnamanis , and then the mouth of the Amisius , or Ems river Ems . The next river in that direction is the Visurgis, which has to be the Weser River . Based on the similarity of the name, some have identified the Vidrus with the Weser. The evidence, however, is all to the contrary. The two words are probably not related. By mouth of the Rhine, Ptolemy probably meant the mouth of the IJssel, which flows from the Rhine near Arnhem . The Romans knew it as the Flevus. It did not originally connect to the Rhine, but the Romans themselves joined the two with a canal. This waterway gave them an outlet to the IJsselmeer , formerly the Zuider Zee , which the Romans called Flevus Lacus. They maintained a fleet on it. That the Vidrus was between the Rhine and the Ems is indicated by a touching story in Book I of the Annals of Tacitus . In 9 AD the Romans had lost 3 legions in the Teutoburg Forest at what is now Bramsche east of the Ems. The commander, Publius Quinctilius Varus , was lured into the swamps by his friend and former ally of Rome, Arminius Hermann . Not having a place to stand, and caught by surprise, the Romans were massacred. Six years later, Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus , as consul, was conducting further operations against the Germans with the commander of the army of lower Rhine, Aulus Caecina . Augustus was gone and Tiberius , Germanicus brother, was emperor. Deciding to forestall a new Germanic conspiracy, Germanicus sent Caecina to the Ems from further up the Rhine, through the country of the Bructeri , which Caecina devastated. Germanicus embarked more troops and sailed from Flevus up the Ems to join forces. While on the ... more details
