	Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo - LoveToKnow 1911
		In the reign of Tiberius he held the office of praetor, and was appointed to the superintendence of the roads and bridges.
		Under Claudius he was governor of lower Germany (A.D. He punished the Frisii who refused to pay the tribute, and was on the point of advancing against the Chauci, but was recalled by the emperor and ordered to withdraw behind the Rhine.
		In order to provide employment for his soldiers, Corbulo made them cut a canal from the Mosa (Meuse) to the northern branch of the Rhine, which still forms one of the chief drains between Leiden and Sluys, and before the introduction of railways was the ordinary traffic road between Leiden and Rotterdam.

		The coastlands north of the mouth of the Rhine were occupied by the Canninefates, beyond them by the Frisii as far as the mouth of the Ems, thence onward to the mouth of the Elbe by the Chauci.
		As to the affinities of all these various tribes we have little definite information, but it is worth noting that the Batavi in Holland are said to have been a branch of the Chatti, from whom they had separated owing to a seditio domestica.
		During the last years of the 1st century the Angrivarii are found moving westwards, probably under pressure from the Chauci, and the power of the Bructeri was almost destroyed by their attack.

	Chauci at AllExperts
		The Chauci were a populous Germanic tribe inhabiting the extreme northwestern shore of Germany during Roman times - basically the stretch of coast between Frisia in the west to the Elbe estuary in the east.
		The political position of the Chauci, early in the 1st century, was essentially a pro-roman one.
		This however, leads to great unrest amongst the Chauci and the situation is about to escallate when Corbulo is ordered by Claudius to retreat behind the Rhine River, which is subsequently declared the border of the roman empire.

	Nero Drusus - LoveToKnow 1911
		Drusus drove them back and pursued them through the island of the Batavi and the land of the Usipetes (Usipes, Usipii) to their own territory, which he devastated.
		Sailing down the Rhine, he subdued the Frisii and, in order to facilitate operations against the Chauci, dug a canal (Fossa Drusiana) leading from the Rhenus (Rhine) to the Isala (Yssel) 2 into the lacus Flevus (Zuidersee) and the German Ocean.
		Making his way along the Frisian coast, he conquered the island of Burchanis (Borkum), defeated the Bructeri in a naval engagement on the Amisia (Ems), and went on to the mouth of the Visurgis (Weser) to attack the Chauci.

	Saxons - MSN Encarta
		The earliest mention of the Saxons is by the Egyptian mathematician and geographer Ptolemy in the 2nd century ad, at which time they appear to have dwelt in the south Jutland Peninsula in the north of what is now Germany.
		They conducted piratical raids in the North Sea area, and in the 3rd and 4th centuries they pressed southward into the region of the River Weser, where they encountered the Chauci and the Angrivarii, Germanic tribes that they subdued and absorbed.
		In the second half of the 4th century, the Saxons invaded Roman domains, and by the close of the 6th century all north-west Germany as far east as the Elbe had become Saxon territory.

	The Romans in East-Frisia
		At this time the region between the rivers Ems and Elbe was inhabited by the tribe of the Chauci.
		Drusus, who died in 9 BC after he had fallen from a horse, was followed by his brother Tiberius Claudius Nero, later successor of Emperor Augustus.
		It is said that Tiberius did subdue the Chauci, who became loyal allies of the Romans.

	Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo (1)
		But we may speculate that Corbulo was a legionary commander in 41, when the Romans attacked the Chauci; or that he played an important role during Claudius' invasion of Britain.
		However this may be, it is certain that Corbulo used the Rhine fleet (and the legions V Alaudae and XV Primigenia?) to attack the Chauci.
		The shores are occupied by oaks which have a vigorous growth rate, and these trees, when undermined by the waves or driven by blasts of wind, carry away vast islands of soil trapped in their roots.

	Who are the Angles?
		"There are five German races; the Vandili, parts of whom are the Burgundiones, the Varini, the Carini, and the Gutones: the Ingævones, forming a second race, a portion of whom are the Cimbri, the Teutoni, and the tribes of the Chauci.
		The Ingaevonic peoples (often mistranslated as "Sons of Ing", but in fact it is a crude rendering of the Latin "Ing-phonic" or "people who use the sound of -ing") were a lingual and cultural block.
		According to Pliny there were originally three major tribal groups that formed the Ingaevones: the Cimbri, Teutoni, and the Chauci.

		Subsequently, in his good fortune, he fell into a despot's pride, was dethroned, was restored by the help of the Langobardi, and still, in prosperity or adversity, did mischief to the interests of the Cheruscan nation.
		It was during the same period that the Chauci, free, as it happened, from dissension at home and emboldened by the death of Sanquinius, made, while Corbulo was on his way, an inroad into Lower Germany, under the leadership of Gannascus.
		This man was of the tribe of the Canninefates, had served long as our auxiliary, had then deserted, and, getting some light vessels, had made piratical descents specially on the coast of Gaul, inhabited, he knew, by a wealthy and unwarlike population.

		There are only a few written records of the Germans before 100 BC, and archaeology in the period is of little help.
		This is exacerbated by the name changes that occur, such as the Chauci becoming the Saxons and the Thuringians becoming the Hermunduri and then the Bavarians (Musset, 1975)

		The Chauci did not join in the destruction of General Varus at the hands of their neighbors, but they did war with Rome in 41
		As subjects of the Romans, the Chauci stayed quiet as long as the might of the legions could not be contested.
		The emperor Didius Julianus quelled their ambitions, and the Chauci slipped as a power and were eventually subjugated and absorbed by the Saxons.

	Didius Julianus
		In 173, the Chauci, a Germanic tribe that lived along the shores of the Wadden Sea and had a reputation for piracy, unexpectedly invaded the country that is now called Flanders.
		This was the beginning of the group of defense works along the Strait of Dover that became known as the litis Saxonicum.
		Having done this job, he was made governor of Germania Inferior, adjacent to the war zone where he had fought against the Chauci (180-184/185).

	The World of the Imperium Romanum
		Germania was divided into tribal societies, with names such as Frisii, Batavi, Chauci, Langobardi, Cherusci, Vandali, Chatti, Burgundiones, Hermunduri, Marcomanni, and Quadi.
		All of these were constantly warring with, raiding, and generally being unpleasant to the other tribes and the Romans.
		In Scandinavia there were numerous ka'an, in the Alps and other mountainous regions a large number of dwarves, in the hills a few gnomes, and in the woods and plains a few bands of barbarian elves working both for and against the Romans.

		On the contrary, S argues, Pliny presents Nature itself in this part of the world, particularly Nature as manifested in the Hercynian forest, as hostile to human needs rather than nurturing of them (as in Italy): Nature for the Chauci is inverted and perverted (118-20); this is the means of their punishment.
		S. suggests that the Romans would have tamed such a forest; consequently it is precisely because the Chauci have been "spared" by fortune from Roman domination-they reject the necessity and rightness of this domination, they are unsubjected, they refuse to embrace Roman culture-that they are thus afflicted.
		This argument assumes, however, that the kind of information modern scholars recover archaeologically was available to Pliny, and that he was in the position to acquire such information through direct, eyewitness observation-optimistic assumptions, to say the least.

		Civilis wanted to suppress this rebellion, but found that the unit of Frisians and Chauci that he wanted to use, was murdered by the inhabitants of Cologne.
		Even worse, Cerialis' three legions -and perhaps units from the army at Mainz- advanced to the north at top speed.
		To understand the importance of this move, we must take a brief look at the topography of the Dutch river area.

		By a strong bodily effort, however, and a furious rush of his horse, he made his way through them, having smeared his face with his blood, that he might not be known.
		Some of the vessels were swallowed up; many were wrecked on distant islands, and the soldiers, finding there no form of human life, perished of hunger, except some who supported existence on carcases of horses washed on the same shores.
		Day and night, on those rocks and promontories he would incessantly exclaim that he was himself responsible for this awful ruin, and friends scarce restrained him from seeking death in the same sea.

		First comes the tribe of the Chauci, which, beginning at the Frisian settlements, and occupying a part of the coast, stretches along the frontier of all the tribes which I have enumerated, till it reaches with a bend as far as the Chatti.
		This vast extent of country is not merely possessed, but densely peopled, by the Chauci, the noblest of the German races, a nation who would maintain their greatness by righteous dealing.
		Without ambition, without lawless violence, they live peaceful and secluded, never provoking a war or injuring others by rapine and robbery.
