TEUTONI, or TEUTONES

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 673 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEUTONI, or TEUTONES , a tribe of northern Europe, who became known to the Romans in the year 103 B.C., when, according to the
Epitome
  of Livy, together with the Ambrones they reinforced the
Cimbri
  (q.v.) after their repulse from Spain by the Celtiberi. In 102 the Teutoni and Ambrones were totally defeated by Marius at
Aquae
  Sextiae (see MARIUS, GAIUS). The racial affinities of the Teutoni have formed a matter of dispute amongst historians. Their name is Celtic in form, and many writers suppose that the Teutoni were really a Celtic tribe, a branch of the Helvetii. But a
people
  of this name seems to have been mentioned by the early traveller Pytheas as inhabiting the coasts of the northern ocean in his time.
Strabo
  and Velleius, moreover, classify them as Germani, and this is perhaps the more probable view, although apparently the distinction between
Celt
  and Teuton was not clearly realized by some of the earlier historians. If the Teutoni really came from the same
quarter
  as the
Cimbri
 , it is possible that their name may have been preserved in that of the
district
  called until recently Thyland or Thythsyssel in the extreme
north
 -west of
Jutland.
For authorities see CIMBRI; also Pliny, xxxvii. 35.
