  Chamavi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chamavi first appear under that name in the 1st century AD Germania of Tacitus as a Germanic tribe that, for most of their history, existed along the north bank of the lower Rhine in the region today called Hamaland after them.
At some time after Ptolemy the lowlands around and in what was once the Zuider Zee, in a region now occupied by the Dutch (whose ancestors perhaps they are), became occupied by a people called the Salii ("salt-water people"), no doubt by a simple change of name, either their own or someone else's.
Some of the Chamavi were killed, others put in chains, and the rest fled to their homes, to send envoys later petitioning Julian from a supine position.

We know this period is the start of the emerging super-tribe of the Franks, which was a coalition of such tribes as the Salii, Chamavi, Bructeri, Amsivarii, Tubantes and Chattuarii.
Altough the Franks emerged as a coherent group only during the 3rd century, the troubles of the late 2nd may have foreshadowed this development.

The village communities they established retained all the trappings of Germanic culture despite being in close proximity to Roman communities.
According to James W. Thompson, in his book History Of The Middle Ages, "Thousands of Goths were so colonized by Claudius II, thousands of Franks and Alemanni by Aurelian, thousands of Bastarnae and Franks by Probus, thousands of Carpi by Diocletian, thousands of Chamavi and Frisians by Constantius".
By the Third Century, the majority of Germanic colonists in Roman territories were not captured antagonists, but rather voluntary Germanic refugees.

Austin is less optimistic, because Ammianus does have some biases and can distort occurrences.
A good example is Julian's brief expedition against the Frankish Chamavi and Sali (17.8).
Ammianus had superior sources and could tell the story from headquarters’ point of view, yet he left out Constantius’ role because he wanted to emphasise Julian’s part.

Chamavi: The Chamavi, a Germanic tribe, are first mentioned in the year 289 AD as a "Frankish" people.
Although a "Frankish" tribe, they appear to retain their own identity as late as the 9th century AD when they were given their own law code, named "Lex Francorum Chamavorum".
One author on the Germanic-L List believes that the "founding tribes" of the Franks probably included the Chamavi, Sugambri, Batavi, Chattuari, Amsivari, Bructeri, Usipi etc. Frankish sub-groups are later identified as Ripuari and Sali (the Ripuarian and Salian Franks).

Crossing the frontier in about 350, he lived at Trier with a band of robbers, but he also made profits by killing Germans who raided across the Rhine as they slept in the woods at night in a drunken stupor.
So successful was he that the future emperor Julian employed him and his men as an irregular military unit, mixed with some Salian Franks Julian had just defeated, against invading Chauci and Chamavi- peoples who were themselves often counted among the Franks.
Charietto went on to hold a high command as a Roman general on the Rhine, which is extraordinary enough.

The name HESSE may be derived from HUSHIM (Hus-im) son of Dan (Genesis 46; 23) and at first the Franks were attributed a DANISH origin or association.
