2020年12月13日 · Cherusci is a name recorded before the C to H sound shift which is well attested, eg Cimmerland => Himmerland, and all suggested etymologies suggest Heruskaz was more likely. In the middle ages, people like Martin Luther thought the name was connected with the Harz region and that the name was something like Harzer.

2010年10月15日 · Many - though I wouldn't go as far as saying most - of the Cherusci in Arminius' army may have worn chainmail tunics. Remember that he had warriors from other tribes (Marsi, etc.) in his warband, and to our knowledge they had not contributed any warriors to the auxilia, and therefore would have been more lightly-equipped.

2020年12月13日 · The Cheruci are likely in that large cultivated area south of Hannover, with pockets of other tribes as their neighbours. That doesn't mean that other earlier Cherusci didn't migrate southwards, joining some groups of the migration period. It depending on personal ambition, family ties, alliances and allegiances etc.

Most of the Germans that the 1st/2nd Century Romans encountered (Cherusci, Suebi, Chatti, Marcomanni, etc.) lived in close contact with Celtic tribes. The line where "Celt" ended and "German" began was traditionally drawn at the Rhine, but remember that ancient frontiers (take Hadrian's Wall for example) were often not barriers but meeting ...

2010年8月11日 · Thank you for the links, Beorna. I am excited to check them out. The Germanic tribes I am most interested are the Chatti and the Cherusci (1st century) and the Saxons (any time from their first mention until about the 10th century). But I welcome anything ancient Germanic from the earliest times to the 4th century or so. Germania_Echoes

According to Dio, Chariomerus had been dethroned by the Chatti 'on account of his friendship with the Romans' - suggesting this was a recent occurrence, only happening in or after 84.

2012年1月31日 · What do we know of Arminius of the Cherusci, famous for defeating the Romans at the Battle of the Teutoberg Forest? I'm trying to research his life before the battle. All I have found so far is that he was the son of Segimerus, chief of the Cherusci and that he was born in either 18 BC or 17 BC...

I’m currently writing a story set in ancient Germania; my main character (father was Cherusci, mother was Chatti) is named ANTSECG. As far as I understand, this Saxon name could have well been used among the Cherusci since some believe the Cherusci later merged into the Saxons and the Franks. My...

2012年7月21日 · Arminius, a young prince of the Cherusci tribe who had been raised by Romans and was now commanding a force of mounted Cheruscan nobles, offered his assistance in guiding Varus' army to the trouble area. Another chief of the Cherusci, Segestes, tried to warn Varus not to trust Arminius, telling him that the Cherusci were among the tribes in revolt.

2021年12月8日 · Even Idistaviso, that has been hailed as a great military success (following the suggestion of Tacitus), did not prevent the Cherusci from biting back at Germanicus shortly afterwards. At any rate, Rome's check on Germania did not die out as Germanicus left. Diplomatic control and ongoing vitality on the area continued in the following decades.
