  Raetia - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Raetia (so always in inscriptions; classical manuscripts usually use the form Rhaetia), in ancient geography, a province of the Roman Empire, bounded on the west by the country of the Helvetii, on the east by Noricum, on the north by Vindelicia and on the south by Cisalpine Gaul.
At first Raetia formed a distinct province, but towards the end of the 1st century A.D. Vindelicia was added to it; hence Tacitus (Germania, 41) could speak of Augusta Vindelicorum (Augsburg) as "a colony of the province of Raetia".
In the reign of Marcus Aurelius Raetia was governed by the commander of the Legio iii.

 History of Bavaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The earliest known inhabitants that are mentioned in written sources were a people, probably Celts, participating in the widespread La Tène culture, whom the Romans subdued just before the opening of the Christian era, founding colonies among them and including their land in the provinces of Raetia and Noricum.
During the 5th century the Romans in Noricum and Raetia came under increasing pressure from an influx of foreign peoples.
One theory of the etymological origins of the name "Bavarian" is that Bai(o)arii was derived from Bai(a)haim, which is thought to be equivalent with the land of the antique tribe of the Boii and modern Bohemia (Reindel 1981).

 Swabia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Faced with such a dilution of power, and an inability to compete on the level of the great dynasties such as the Staufer and the Welfs, the counts palatine preserved only their title, not the rights and powers that it originally signified, and the title became honorific among their agnatic descendants.
A mark of Raetia was part of Charlemagne’s constitution and continued in existence under the Hunfridinger dynasty, until the margrave, Burkhard II, became Swabian duke in 919.
The margraves of Raetia are likely to have acted many times as Swabia’s military leaders, and so it is not altogether surprising that the mark was simply dismantled at this time.

Aemilian's invasion of Italy will have taken place as early as possible in A.D. The mission of Valerian to Raetia must in all probability be placed before the enc of A.D. With the campaigning season of A.D. 253, Aemilian struck first.
Whether or not helped by any deliberate delay on the part of Valerian, he overthrew Gallus, who was unassisted by the German armies.
