		Crassus were consuls), those Germans [called] the Usipetes, and likewise the Tenchtheri, with a great number of men, crossed the Rhine, not far from the place at which that river discharges itself into the sea.
		In the mean time, embassadors from several nations come to him, whom, on their suing for peace and alliance, he answers in a courteous manner, and orders hostages to be brought to him.
		But the Sigambri, at the very time the bridge was begun to be built, made preparations for a flight (by the advice of such of the Tenchtheri and Usipetes as they had among them), and quitted their territories, and conveyed away all their possessions, and concealed themselves in deserts and woods.

		It was of great importance to pacify the Gauls, in order to have his hands free to deal with the German tribes, one of which, the Sugambri, on the right bank of the Rhine, had seized the opportunity, during the absence of Augustus, to cross the river (12).

		In his second campaign (ii), Drusus defeated the Usipetes, threw a bridge over the Luppia (Lippe), attacked the Sugambri, and advanced through their territory and that of the Tencteri and Chatti as far as the Weser, where he gained a victory over the Cherusci.

	Julius Caesar: The first Germanic expedition
		Many people, belonging to the tribes of the Usipetes and Tencteri, were massacred (text).
		Then too there was the fact that the Ubians -the only tribe across the Rhine who had sent envoys to me, established ties of friendship, and given hostages- were urgently begging me to go to their help because they were being severely harassed by the Suebians [3].
		They were urged to do so by those of the Tencteri and the Usipetes who were with them, and so they left their own country and disappeared into uninhabited forests, taking all their belongings with them.

		One of the objects which Caesar had proposed to himself-- the subjugation of Gaul--had been in substance, with exceptions scarcely worth mentioning, attained so far as it could be attained at all by the sword.
		It was not Caesar's design seriously to respond to this suggestion, which would have involved him in endless enterprises; but it seemed advisable, with the view of preventing the appearance of the Germanic arms on the south of the Rhine, at least to show the Roman arms beyond it.
		The protection which the fugitive Usipetes and Tencteri had found among the Sugambri afforded a suitable occasion.

		The only obvious parallel is the problem with distinct ethnicities entering the Empire and, despite proclaiming loyalty to the Empire (as the Franks did when they were settled, finally, on the right bank of the Rhine), retaining their identity as a barbarous people.
		W/ regard to the Franks, they were an amalgamated or "made" people, forged from four Germanic tribes, two of which, the Usipetes and the Tencteri, had been badly beaten by Julius Caesar himself during their first attempt to penetrate beyond the Rhine.
		In the aftermath of that battle, those of their host who survived the slaughter imposed on them by Caesar, were caught and killed by the Suebi (Schwaben) whose land they'd crossed to reach the Rhine.
