	Julius Caesar: The first Germanic expedition
		When the Suebians had learned from their scouts that a bridge was being built, they followed their usual custom and called a council.
		They sent messengers to every part of their country telling their people to leave their oppida [5]: they were to take their women, their children, and all their property into the forests and then all men capable of fighting were to assemble in one place, that chosen being about the middle of their territory.
		There, the Ubians informed me, the Suebians were waiting for us to arrive and that was the place where they had decided to fight it out.

	Julius Caesar: the Usipetes and Tencteri
		The Usipetes and the Tencteri [1] had withstood attacks from the Suebians [2] for many years, but they were in the end driven from their land, and after wandering about for three years in various parts of Germania, they reached the Rhine.
		The area they had come to was inhabited by the Menapians [3], who had lands, buildings, and villages on both banks of the river.
		It was unreasonable for people who were unable to protect their own territory to seize other people's, and besides there was no land available in Gaul that could be given to them without causing resentment, especially considering their great numbers.

	Weisel Family Association Reunion Programs
		The so-called "High German" language originally was that of the Suebians and the "Low German" language that of the Kimmerians (Franks).

		When the Suebians (Deutsch) of recent years have tried to conquer the Franks of western Europe, they merely have been trying to reverse the situation of a thousand or more years ago.

	Lessons in Decline Part One: Spain
		Roman rule in Spain was only ended in 409 AD when bands of Germanics: the Alans, the Vandals, the Suebians and others, crossed the Pyrenees and overthrew the Romanized Spaniards, setting up their own kingdoms.
		Although the Visigoths had subdued the Vandals and Suebians, relations between the latter two groups proceeded to worsen over a number of domestic issues, and the two tribes went to war with each other around 420 AD.
		The Vandals then started moving south, giving their name to the region known as Andalusia (from Vandalusia) and finally, in 429 AD, an 80,000 strong contingent of Vandals crossed the Straits of Gibraltar and seized the old Roman province of Africa (Tunisia and parts of Algeria - the old Carthaginian state).

	Tribal Identifications: Issachar
		The SUEBI in the west were divided into two distinct groups (Zeuss, Chadwick) : (1) The northern ones who were close culturally to the Frisians and Saxons and participated in the invasion of England; and (2) the southern section who settled in Switzerland.
		The Suebians had emerged from the Sienbi in Serica and Scythia and they were an amalgamation of different (though basically related) peoples.
		Forms of the name SUEBI applied to the northern group such as SWAEF and Svipdag, along with several other factors, suggest a connection to JOSEPH, especially since prefixes such as "JO-" etc. were frequently dropped.
