  Germania Inferior
The army of Germania Inferior marched from the mouth of the Rhine through the inland to the sources of the Lippe, where a camp was built at Anreppen.
The army of Germania Superior consisted of II Augusta, XIII Gemina, XIV Gemina, and XVI Gallica; I Germanica, V Alaudae, XX Valeria Victrix, and XXI Rapax were stationed in Germania Inferior.

  Germania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Map of the Roman Empire and "the free Germania", Magna Germania, in the early 2nd century.
Dating back to the Roman era, Germania was the Latin name for a geographical area that stretched from the west bank of the Rhine to a vaguely-defined eastern frontier with the forest and steppe regions of modern Russia and Ukraine (Sarmatia), where Slavic tribes dominated.
Germania was defined by Rome as having two regions: 'the inner Germania', west and south of the Rhine, occupied by the Romans, and 'the big Germania' (Magna Germania) east of the Rhine.

 Tacitus: Germania
Ceterum Germaniae vocabulum recens et nuper additum, quoniam qui primi Rhenum transgressi Gallos expulerint ac nunc Tungri, tunc Germani vocati sint: ita nationis nomen, non gentis evaluisse paulatim, ut omnes primum a victore ob metum, mox etiam a se ipsis, invento nomine Germani vocarentur.
Non numeraverim inter Germaniae populos, quamquam trans Rhenum Danuviumque consederint, eos qui decumates agros exercent.
[37] Eundem Germaniae sinum proximi Oceano Cimbri tenent, parva nunc civitas, sed gloria ingens.

 Germania harp family
The common features of this group are the scant departure from simple rectangular body outline, the accompaniment and melody strings being situated on two different levels of height off the instrument's face, and the shorter group of strings exiting out the instrument's back side (the accompaniment strings, in all cases except the harp-guitar-zither).
The Germania Harp is not the definitive instrument of this group.
The melody sections of the Germania, the symphony, and the harp-guitar-zither below are unique among fretless zithers in that they have 2 accidentals per octave, rather than the usual 1, 3, or 5 (fully chromatic.) The labelling of the one pictured identifies it as a Model No. 5.

 Germania: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
With Germania, the trio is found playing straight-ahead hard rock, with only hints of their older sound emerging once in awhile through Klaus Hess's guitar playing.
One of the better songs comes in the form of the title track, which uses German lyrics for only the second time in the group's career and has an advancing rock and roll flow initiated by Peter Panka's stalwart drumming.
By the time Germania was released, which was the album that ended their stint with the Metronome label, the band began to resemble the Scorpions to a slight degree, and even the smallest trace of Jane's progressive rock leanings had disappeared.
