They did.

Dude, there is literally an Emperor called Germanicus solely because they went there.

Afghanistan of those times.

Can confirm
t. Kraut

Germanicus was never emperor? Instead they got stuck with Caligula.

Were their Germans in Austria /Switzerland at this time?
Also were their Dutch in whats now Belgium yet?
Those two places and England are the only areas they have that are currently Germanic, but Britain definatley wasn't Germanic then.

Germanicus was a general, adopted son of Tiberius. Learn2history fag.

Dense forest and lack of civilization

meanwhile afghanistan then was the germany of those times

to answer your question seriously: arminius, a germanic noble fostered by the roman army, united some germanic tribes behind him and destroyed 3 roman armys. after that the roman senate figured the cost of man and material was to high and decided to strengthen their position on the rhine instead.

The people living there were Celts until the Germans invaded in the 5th century

It was a desolate, poor shithole at the time.

Actually the Romans did go there, and the Germanics just BTFO'd them. Wasted 3 full legions innawoods with no survivors. This kinda makes the rest of Europe (looking at you Celts & Gauls) look like pussies because they loved to suck Roman dick.
Anyways, the surrender monkeys got what they deserved for mixing with Romans, short height, swarty appearance and inferior work morals and economics, even their cars are shit.

I hope this is a lesson to you kids when you think about surrendering to Rome the next time.

good post

They did on multiple times. However the region was not worth the hassle of conquering as it had nothing to offer but timber and ferocious warriors, and the latter they already had access to through their foederati and auxillary systems. Instead they choose the more prudent way to control the region which was the implementation of client 'states' and internal strife. By encouraging intragermanic feuds they slowed the tribal tendency to confederate against larger threats.

Slavs, in proto-slavic = Slověne

Suebi, in proto-germanic = Swēboz

The romans got their revenge when Germanicus curbstomped the fuck out of them soon after that.
The Marcomannic wars were also a major defeat for the germanic (and nomadic) peoples which might have been a real game-changer if it wasn't for Commodus wanting to get the fuck outta there ASAP.

Slověne and Swēboz have different indo-european roots.
"Swēboz " is from "*swé", the same root as Swedes, and Swiss, and the words same and self, and a shit ton of words like solus, solace etc, or "swear".
The names Sabines and Samnites is from that root. Also possibly "Serbs".
>So it's more likely that *swé-something would what the first indo-eurpeans called themselves. (Proof being a shit ton of seemingly unrelated ancient tribes all call themselves the same thing.)

While "Slav" comes from "ḱel- "(or more specifically "ḱléwos"). Which means to hear/speak.

*kelh2- mean to strike in IE

they literally just got btfo too many times.

lol
post more Roman bantz

>literally wore Princess Leia hair buns
kek

The suebian knot is nothing at all like Princess Leia's hairdo.

*ḱléwos means "fame", or rather, "well Spoken of" as in someone you hear and speak about.
Like Sanskrit (śrávas)
sound, shout, loud praise
glory, fame, renown

ḱlew means to hear, kel>ḱlew>slovo (word)>Slav meaning something like "we who speak the same".
I'm unsure how *ḱel- meaning "cover" became sound/hear/speak.
Maybe cover your ears, then eventually becoming "hearing" itself?
Any Slavs here?

>The "sans" in Sanskrit also derives from "swe" or "same".
>Literally "our-script"

>5th century
A few hundred years off.

Julian also kicked the shit out of Suebians a century and a half later when they got uppity again.

In a pretty fucking spectacular way if I might say so.

please Negritos, they never brought the proud Germanic warrior to its knees, Matter of fact they were just sore losers and tried to save face for such a strategic defeat on this huge magnitude.
The Germanic Warrior responded by crashing the Roman empire with no survivors and their heirs ruled Europe for 100 years to come.

>Trying to meme this hard

The Roman empire collapsed from within, the Germanic tribes were still getting btfo even when Rome was in its last legs, divided into two parts and the Germanics had managed to loot and copy Roman technology/steelworking.

>don't fear us, the gauls but fear some germanicucks

Insulting.

>Anyways, the surrender monkeys got what they deserved for mixing with Romans, short height, swarty appearance and inferior work morals and economics, even their cars are shit

Imagine being this wrong and obsessed. Let me guess : England?

Some germans even wear it to this day!

He's talking about entirety of western Europe.

The name Serb means ally

German warrior were considered to the more peaceful kind. Rhine was a relatively calm front. Now Danube was where the real action happened.

The alps were celtic at this time not Germanic.

>steelworking
Thats one of the few things the Barbarians where superior to the Romans.

>Rest of Europe sucks roman cock, Germanics don't
>Rest of Europe collapses because of Christcucks, Germanics take over everything
sounds fair to me

Not really

The Germanics who conquered Rome were Christians too.

Trust me on that one, Roman iron working was mediocre at best and got only better when they took over Celtic Norricum and Hispania. Pre migration age Germanic iron working was not bad either but on a artisanal scale at best.
What romans excelled at was shitting out mid quality iron and make nails and iron bands with it en masse, what helped to make roman pioneers the best bridge builders of their time and enabled fast marching speeds for roman armies.

only after the goths appeared (also germanic)

>Alaric was a Christian
we lad

The ROMAN man is the epitome of male dominance and masculinity.

Let's start by looking at his body. His body is large. His domineering size makes his presence known without him even needing to point himself out. He is muscular, as a result of his high levels of testosterone. This gives him the appearance of health and strength. He is then covered by his olive skin. This olive skin reminds us of his ruggedness, a feature that developed due to being exposed to the temperate climates of the mediterranean, made to withstand such an extreme condition. It also has a psychological effect on the observer. The olive skin reminds us of our dark, deep desires that emerge from our primal subconscious past.

The ROMAN man's demeanor is one of alphaness. He is dominant, assertive, and can be explosively aggressive. His behaviour strikes fear into the more timid, cowardly races of man(barbarians dogs)

The summit of expression of his masculinity on his body is his penis. The ROMAN penis is largest of all the races. As the penis is the penultimate symbol of manhood, this alone would suffice to make the ROMAN man the most masculine of men. This large penis is able fulfill the desire of the neediest of women, being able to more than fill all the recesses of the vagina. Its length ensures that when it ejaculates, the potent roman seed will immediately enter the womb of the woman the ROMAN man impregnates.

In total, the ROMAN man expresses this masculinity in a most exemplary manner in bed. When he fucks, he unleashes the entirety of his lusts and desires upon his partner without any restraint.

All this is the reason why the ROMAN man is the epitome of masculinity.

germany is a beautiful country

there were germanic people in britain long before the anglo-saxon invasion/migration. Possibly since the neolithic

scandinavians / north germans are swarthier then central europeans (skin colour wise)

but why did yurop colonize africa then?

see the column of marcus auerilius, germanic people were not as they're depicted in documentaries, or movies like gladiator, or modern historical art. Not what you probably picture mentally when you think or hear the term barbarian

Is it the destiny of the eternal Teuton to crash europe with no survivors endlessly

The Alps were never Celtic. Gauls in the Alps were different from Transalpine Gauls.
Also Gauls weren't "celts" in a racial sense, they were probably the same back then as they are today, racially "Germanic" or Teutonic. The Romans wrote about Germanics being "celtic" such as some of the Belgae and the Cimbri (more so the former than the latter).
They were Germanic in looks but Celtic in Language, that's what Caesar says.
The term "Celt" isn't a racial term when the Romans used it, it's more linguistic and cultural.
Kent might have had some Belgae, who were themselves closer to Germanics racially than to the Celtic speakers native to the Islands.
They did, many times. They didn't leave many traces because what should they have left?
Stone structures? no stone and the swampy area isn't good for construction.

>to weed out the weak and breed the strong
It is in our racial spirit.

Romans come from that place, they are descended from mighty Teutonic heroes.
The story of Troy actually took place around the Baltic states with the ancient Sparta and Athens being in Sweden and Troy being in Lithuania or Estonia. The people described in the Homeric epics are Northern Europeans too, they have light eyes and light hair.
Aeneas of Troy was a Germanic Hero who sailed on to found Rome. Sure some of this is myth, but it is mostly true.

I thought our racial spirit was to build machinery and tools of outstanding quality but unfortunately often overbuilt and intricately complex? You know, just like autistic beavers building dams.

Daily reminder that Indo-Europeans spoke Proto-Balto-Slavic.

...

looks germanic to me!

WERST

Pretty much this.
Especially Holland.
The Romans left, the Spanish left, the French left, the Germans left, everyone leaves because they soon find out it's nothing but swamp, mud and rain. It's by far the most unnatural country, to the point that their taxes defy physics; they go up but they never come down.

By far the saddest shithole on earth.
Depressing, rain everywhere and the highest mountain is a fucking hill.
It's basically the only country designed with an integrated suicide button.
That should say something.

Nope.

Romans couldn't put the hard Germanic soil to plow. Most Germanic tribes alternated between moraine valleys with loose (but poor quality) soil and thus their population figures were capped before the spread of the carruca from the East allowed them to clear the forests and plow the land. Without intensive agriculture, Roman colonies in Germania would be poorly supplied and limited in population or manufacturing capabiltiy.

wait hold up
r u saying we fought the romans n shit?
kept the empire at bay n shit?

There where Roman colonists and farmers, but Germania got purified of club med migrants after heroic Germanic freedom fighters destroyed a Roman terror army in the Teutoburg forest.

literally spared the people who hid in churches and clung to Christian symbols.

The Alpine people were not Germanic until the migration period. The Alpine peoples were absorbed by groups such as the Rugii.

Inorite to think that the creators of this place actually imagined that people would use sources what a bunch of suckers

Germans didn't exist until the 9th century you utter dullards. Germanic and German are not interchangeable synonyms.

Yes, you wanker in denial.

Nope

Slavic is not an ethnicity, it's a language group.
