Cimbri

Years: 300BCE - 1

The Cimbri are a tribe from Northern Europe, who, together with the Teutones and the Ambrones, threaten the Roman Republic in the late 2nd century BCE.

The Cimbri are probably Germanic, though some believe them to be of Celtic origin.

The ancient sources located their original home in Jutland, in present-day Denmark, which was referred to as the Cimbrian peninsula throughout antiquity.
