Lombards
early migration legends suggest major shifting tribes occurred sometime first second century bc would coincide time teutoni cimbri left homelands scandinavia migrated germany eventually invading roman italy.archaeology migrations first mention lombards occurred ad roman court historian velleius paterculus accompanied roman expedition prefect cavalry.paterculus says tiberius power langobardi broken race surpassing even germans savagery.from combined testimony strabo ad tacitus ad lombards dwelt near mouth elbe shortly beginning christian era next chauci.strabo states lombards dwelt sides elbe.treats branch suebi states thatnow tribe suebi largest extends rhenus albis part even dwells far side albis instance hermondori langobardi present time latter least last man driven flight country land far side river.suetonius wrote roman general nero claudius drusus defeated large force germans drove “to farther side albis elbe” river.
