Another term, ancient Germans, is considered problematic by many scholars since it suggests identity with present-day <a href="/wiki/Germans" title="Germans">Germans</a>. Although the first Roman descriptions of Germani involved tribes west of the Rhine, their homeland of Germania was portrayed as stretching east of the <a href="/wiki/Rhine" title="Rhine">Rhine</a>, to southern <a href="/wiki/Scandinavia" title="Scandinavia">Scandinavia</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Vistula" title="Vistula">Vistula</a> in the east, and to the upper <a href="/wiki/Danube" title="Danube">Danube</a> in the south.

The term Germani is generally only used to refer to historical peoples from the 1st to 4th centuries CE.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESteinacher2022292-1">[1]</a> Different academic disciplines have their own definitions of what makes someone or something "Germanic".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESteuer202130-2">[2]</a> Some scholars call for the term's total abandonment as a modern construct, since lumping "Germanic peoples" together implies a common group identity for which there is little evidence.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESteuer202128-3">[3]</a> Other scholars have defended the term's continued use and argue that a common Germanic language allows one to speak of "Germanic peoples", regardless of whether these ancient and medieval peoples saw themselves as having a common identity.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETimpeScardigli2010383–385-4">[4]</a> Scholars generally agree that it is possible to refer to Germanic languages from about 500 BCE.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESteuer202132-5">[5]</a> Archaeologists usually associate the earliest clearly identifiable Germanic speaking peoples with the <a href="/wiki/Jastorf_culture" title="Jastorf culture">Jastorf culture</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Pre-Roman_Iron_Age" class="mw-redirect" title="Pre-Roman Iron Age">Pre-Roman Iron Age</a> in central and northern Germany and southern Denmark from the 6th to 1st centuries BCE. This existed around the same time that the <a href="/wiki/Grimm%27s_law" title="Grimm's law">First Germanic Consonant Shift</a> is theorized to have occurred, leading to recognizably Germanic languages.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESteuer202189,_1310-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-9">[a]</a> Germanic languages expanded south, east, and west, coming into contact with <a href="/wiki/Celts" title="Celts">Celtic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Iranian_peoples" title="Iranian peoples">Iranic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Balts" title="Balts">Baltic</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Early_Slavs" title="Early Slavs">Slavic</a> peoples before they were noted by the Romans. Roman authors first described the Germani near the Rhine in the 1st century BCE, while the Roman Empire was establishing its dominance in that region. Under Emperor <a href="/wiki/Augustus" title="Augustus">Augustus</a> (27 BCE – 14 CE), the Romans attempted to conquer a large part of Germania between the Rhine and <a href="/wiki/Elbe" title="Elbe">Elbe</a>, but withdrew after their shocking defeat at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_the_Teutoburg_Forest" title="Battle of the Teutoburg Forest">Battle of the Teutoburg Forest</a> in 9 CE. The Romans continued to manage the Germanic frontier carefully, meddling in cross-border politics, and constructing a long fortified border, the <a href="/wiki/Limes_Germanicus" title="Limes Germanicus">Limes Germanicus</a>. From 166 to 180 CE, Rome was embroiled in a conflict against the Germanic <a href="/wiki/Marcomanni" title="Marcomanni">Marcomanni</a> and <a href="/wiki/Quadi" title="Quadi">Quadi</a> with their allies, which was known as the <a href="/wiki/Marcomannic_Wars" title="Marcomannic Wars">Marcomannic Wars</a>. After this major disruption, new Germanic peoples appear for the first time in the historical record, such as the <a href="/wiki/Franks" title="Franks">Franks</a>, <a href="/wiki/Goths" title="Goths">Goths</a>, <a href="/wiki/Saxons" title="Saxons">Saxons</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Alemanni" title="Alemanni">Alemanni</a>. During the <a href="/wiki/Migration_Period" title="Migration Period">Migration Period</a> (375–568), such Germanic peoples entered the Roman Empire and eventually established their own "<a href="/wiki/Barbarian_kingdoms" title="Barbarian kingdoms">barbarian kingdoms</a>" within the territory of the Western Roman empire itself. Over time, the Franks became the most powerful of them, conquering many of the others. Eventually, the Frankish king <a href="/wiki/Charlemagne" title="Charlemagne">Charlemagne</a> claimed the title of <a href="/wiki/Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Holy Roman Emperor">Holy Roman Emperor</a> for himself in 800. Archaeological finds suggest that Roman-era sources portrayed the Germanic way of life as more primitive than it actually was. Instead, archaeologists have unveiled evidence of a complex society and economy throughout Germania. Germanic-speaking peoples originally shared similar religious practices. Denoted by the term <a href="/wiki/Germanic_paganism" title="Germanic paganism">Germanic paganism</a>, they varied throughout the territory occupied by Germanic-speaking peoples. Over the course of <a href="/wiki/Late_Antiquity" class="mw-redirect" title="Late Antiquity">Late Antiquity</a>, most continental Germanic peoples and the <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Saxons" title="Anglo-Saxons">Anglo-Saxons</a> of Britain converted to Christianity, but the Saxons and <a href="/wiki/Scandinavians" class="mw-redirect" title="Scandinavians">Scandinavians</a> converted only much later. The Germanic peoples shared a native script—known as <a href="/wiki/Runes" class="mw-redirect" title="Runes">runes</a>—from around the first century or before, which was gradually replaced with the <a href="/wiki/Latin_script" title="Latin script">Latin script</a>, although runes continued to be used for specialized purposes thereafter. Traditionally, the Germanic peoples have been seen as possessing a law dominated by the concepts of <a href="/wiki/Feud" title="Feud">feuding</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wergild" class="mw-redirect" title="Wergild">blood compensation</a>. The precise details, nature and origin of what is still normally called "<a href="/wiki/Germanic_law" title="Germanic law">Germanic law</a>" are now controversial. Roman sources state that the Germanic peoples made decisions in a popular assembly (the <a href="/wiki/Thing_(assembly)" title="Thing (assembly)">thing</a>) but that they also had kings and war leaders. The ancient Germanic-speaking peoples probably shared a common poetic tradition, <a href="/wiki/Alliterative_verse" title="Alliterative verse">alliterative verse</a>, and later Germanic peoples also <a href="/wiki/Germanic_heroic_legend" title="Germanic heroic legend">shared legends</a> originating in the Migration Period. The publishing of <a href="/wiki/Tacitus" title="Tacitus">Tacitus</a>'s Germania by <a href="/wiki/Renaissance_humanism" title="Renaissance humanism">humanist scholars</a> in the 1400s greatly influenced the emerging idea of "Germanic peoples". Later scholars of the <a href="/wiki/Romantic_period" class="mw-redirect" title="Romantic period">Romantic period</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Brothers_Grimm" title="Brothers Grimm">Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm</a>, developed several theories about the nature of the Germanic peoples that were highly influenced by <a href="/wiki/Romantic_nationalism" title="Romantic nationalism">romantic nationalism</a>. For those scholars, the "Germanic" and modern "German" were identical. Ideas about the early Germans were also highly influential among members of the nationalist and racist <a href="/wiki/V%C3%B6lkisch" class="mw-redirect" title="Völkisch">völkisch</a> movement and later co-opted by the <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Party" title="Nazi Party">Nazis</a>. During the second half of the 20th century, the controversial misuse of ancient Germanic history and archaeology was discredited and has since resulted in a backlash against many aspects of earlier scholarship. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r886046785">.mw-parser-output .toclimit-2 .toclevel-1 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-3 .toclevel-2 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-4 .toclevel-3 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-5 .toclevel-4 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-6 .toclevel-5 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-7 .toclevel-6 ul{display:none}</style><div class="toclimit-3"><meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Terminology">Terminology</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Germanic_peoples&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Terminology">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Germania" title="Germania">Germania</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Etymology">Etymology</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Germanic_peoples&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Etymology">edit</a>]</div> The etymology of the Latin word Germani, from which Latin Germania and English Germanic are derived, is unknown, although several proposals have been put forward.
