"The Women of the Teutones Defend the Wagon Fort" (1882) by Heinrich Leutemann
The Teutons (Latin: Teutones, Teutoni, Ancient Greek: Τεύτονες) were an ancient northern European tribe mentioned by Roman authors. The Teutons are best known for their participation, together with the Cimbri and other groups, in the Cimbrian War with the Roman Republic in the late second century BC.[1]
Some generations later Julius Caesar described them as a Germanic people, a term he applied to all northern peoples located east of the Rhine. Later Roman authors followed his identification. There is no direct evidence about whether or not they spoke a Germanic language, and evidence such as the tribal name, and the names of their rulers, at as they were written up by Roman historians, indicates a strong influence from Celtic languages. On the other hand, the indications that classical authors gave about the homeland of the Teutones is considered by many scholars to show that they lived in an area associated with early Germanic languages, but not in an area associated with Celtic languages.
