 Teutons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Their antecedents are obscure: Roman authorities normally referred to them as Germans, and modern research has confirmed that to a large degree - but they dwelt in a region far removed from other Teutonic folk of their time, and they show some characteristics of Steppe-dwelling Iranians such as Scyths and Sarmatians.
They began their journeys from central Sweden in the early 1st century BCE - various locations there still recall in name their ancient inhabitants (see, for example, Gotland and Götland).
Their own earliest mythologies speak of two antagonistic groups, the Æsir and the Vanir - the former a group obsessed with the cult of the warrior and the martial virtues, the latter seeming to be focussed on land-use and fertility cults.

 International Law in Antiquity - Cambridge University Press
The book examines the sources, processes and doctrines of international legal obligation in antiquity to reevaluate the critical attributes of international law.
David J. Bederman focuses on three essential areas in which law influenced ancient state relations - diplomacy, treaty-making and warfare - in a detailed analysis of international relations in the Near East (2800—700 BCE), the Greek city-states (500—338 BCE), and Rome (358—168 BCE).
Containing up-to-date literature and archaeological evidence, this study does not merely catalogue instances of recognition by ancient states of these seminal features of international law: it accounts for recurrent patterns of thinking and practice.
