Germanic tribes - origin of the Germans? Well, it's not quite that simple. It starts with the fact that there is no such thing as "the" Germanic tribes. In ancient times, various peoples lived in the area of today's Germany. They would not have seen themselves as "one" people. They were separate tribal associations, which were divided into small groups. However, their way of life is similar. The fact that we still see them as "one people" is also due to Roman historiography. This is the real "inventor" of the Germanic tribes. In this video, Mirko explains who the Germanic tribes were, how they lived and why their relationship with their Roman neighbors was complicated. We are also part of #funk.
