HERMUNDURI, The.
Among the German tribes of the time of Tacitus, "a people
loyal to Rome. Consequently they, alone of the Germans, trade
not merely on the banks of the river, but far inland, and in
the most flourishing colony of the province of Rætia.
Everywhere they are allowed to pass without a guard; and while
to the other tribes we display only our arms and our camps, to
them we have thrown open our houses and country-seats, which
they do not covet."
_Tacitus,
Minor Works, translated by Church and Brodribb:
The Germany._
"The settlements of the Hermunduri must have been in Bavaria,
and seem to have stretched from Ratisbon, northwards, as far
as Bohemia and Saxony."

The Germany.
