Topic: Maroboduus

	GTP
		Maroboduus, Marbod, afterwards king of the Marcomanni, or men of the Mark (maerc) or border, or, according to another etymology, the Marsh land, was by birth a Suevian.
		At what time Maroboduus returned to his own country is uncertain, but probably soon after he attained manhood, since he died at the age of 53, the last eighteen years of his life were spent in exile, and his kingdom, when it awakened the jealousy of Rome, was the work of long and systematic preparation.
		Maroboduus did not avail himself of the distress of Rome after the disaster of Quintilius Varus, A. 9, and marked his friendship for Augustus on that occasion by redeeming from his murderers the head of the unfortunate general and sending it for sepulture to Rome.

		Maroboduus was accepted immediately but removed his people to the strong, mountainous regions of Bohemia, where he shaped his warriors into the most disciplined soldiers in the barbarian world.

		Maroboduus accepted the title of "Friend of Rome" and continued ruling his lands and his people.

		Its capital was Boviasmum, and Maroboduus maintained his regal dignity by a regular force of 70,000 foot and 4000 horse, armed and disciplined after the andoman manner, and while he provided for independence or aggression he carefully cultivated the arts of peace.
		Maroboduus had also touched the pride as well as the fears of Rome, He gave refuge to its discontented subjects; his ambassadors did not always address Augustus as a superior, and if their language was respectful, their demands were frequently arrogant.
		A general revolt of the Cis-Danubian provinces rescued Maroboduus, and Tiberius had the address or the good fortune to persuade him to remain neutral during the Pan-nonian and Dalmatic war.

	Tacitus: Annals: Book 2 [60]
		There he found the long-accumulated plunder of the Suevi and camp followers and traders from our provinces who had been attracted to an enemy's land, each from their various homes, first by the freedom of commerce, next by the desire of amassing wealth, finally by forgetfulness of their fatherland.
		The speech is extant, and in it he magnifies the man's power, the ferocity of the tribes under his sway, his proximity to Italy as a foe, finally his own measures for his overthrow.
		The result was that Maroboduus was kept at Ravenna, where his possible return was a menace to the Suevi, should they ever disdain obedience.

		The Marcomanni occupied the basin of the Saale, but under their king, Maroboduus, they moved into Bohemia during the early part of Augustus's reign, while the Quadi, who are first mentioned in the time of Tiberius, lay farther east towards the sources of the Elbe.
		The Semnones and Langobardi were at one time subject to the dominion of the Marcomannic king Maroboduus, and at a much later period we hear of Langobardic troops taking part against the Romans in the Marcomannic War.
		The Semnones claimed to be the chief of the Suebic peoples, and Tacitus describes a great religious festival held in their tribal sanctuary, at which legations were present from all the other tribes.

		Obwohl Maroboduus bezweckte, einen Konflikt zu vermeiden, war Rom nicht gewillt, eine solche Machtkonzentration, die eine potentielle Bedrohung sowohl Germaniens als auch der Donaugrenze darstellte, zu dulden, zumal sich eine Anzahl ostgermanischer StÃ¤mme den Markomannen angeschlossen hatte.
		Maroboduus verzichtete darauf, diese fÃ¼r Rom prekÃ¤re Situation auszunutzen und schloÃ einen Friedensvertrag condicionibus aequis (zu gleichen Bedingungen).

		But the title of king rendered Maroboduus hated among his countrymen, while Arminius was regarded with favour as the champion of freedom.
		Thus it was not only the Cherusci and their allies, the old soldiers of Arminius, who took up arms, but even the Semnones and Langobardi from the kingdom of Maroboduus revolted to that chief.
		With this addition he must have had an overwhelming superiority, had not Inguiomerus deserted with a troop of his dependants to Maroboduus, simply for the reason that the aged uncle scorned to obey a brother's youthful son.

		In 9 CE, Arminius, a German noble who was serving in the Roman army as an auxiliary officer, led the Roman Governor of Germany into a trap at the Teutoburg forest in northern Germany.
		In 17 CE, the two strongest tribes, the Cherusci, under Arminius, and the Marcomanni, under Maroboduus started fighting each other, with Maroboduus the loser, and in 18 CE he had to escape to Roman territory, and spent his last 18 years in exile at Ravenna in Italy.

		Maroboduus seems early to have discerned the relative position of his countrymen and the Romans.

		I have reports that marauding parties of Germans have crossed into Gaul plundering towns near the border and their king, Maroboduus, is threatening to invade.
		Unless something is done, the attacks will only increase and lead to a full-scale invasion and it’s likely that other neighbors of Rome will take their cue from how this situation is resolved.
		As it turns out, upon hearing about Maroboduus’ capture, the Thracians invade nearby Roman territory, but because I stuck around in Rome with my home legions I quickly put down their attack.

		For, these nations, who since the departure of the Romans, saw themselves no longer threatened with terrors from abroad, and were then particularly engaged in a national competition for glory, had relapsed, as usual, into their old intestine feuds, and turned their arms upon each other.
		The two people were equally powerful, their two leaders equally brave, but differently esteemed, as the title of King, had drawn upon Maroboduus the hate and aversion of his countrymen; whilst Arminius, as a champion warring for the defence of liberty, was the universal object of popular affection.
		Both armies were drawn out, with equal hopes; nor disjointed, like the old German battles, into scattered parties for loose and random attacks; for, by long war with us, they had learnt to follow their ensigns, to strengthen their main body with parties of reserve, and to observe the orders of their Generals.

		I'm not sure how, on the other hand, a Gothic Catualda would have managed to 'corruptly (win) over the noble to support him' - surely these nobles would have been more favourably disposed to a noble of their own tribe rather than an interloper from an obscure people far to the north.
		Jan Czarnecki in 'The Goths in Ancient Poland' feels that Catualda was most likely a Marcomann, and hypothesises that he was exiled by Maroboduus around 17-19 AD.
		He figures that, as a young man, Catualda's exile would not have been long and may have been part of a 'general purge' around the time of Maroboduus' war with Arminius.
