Teutons
Encyclopedia Article
Teutons, ancient Germanic tribe, dwelling originally on the Cimbric Peninsula (now Jutland). About 120 bc, the Teutons joined the Cimbri in their migration southward; the two peoples separated in 105 bc. The Teutons lived in Gaul from that year until 102 bc when they were annihilated by the Roman general Gaius Marius at Aquae Sextiae (modern Aix-en-Provence, France). The word Teutonic survives as a synonym for Germanic.
