Germania

Germania (/dʒərˈmeɪniə/; Greek: Γερμανία Germanía) was the Roman and Greek term for the geographical region in north-central Europe inhabited mainly by Germanic peoples. It extends from the Danube in the south to the Baltic Sea, and from the Rhine in the west to the Vistula. The Roman portions formed two provinces of the Empire, Germania Inferior to the north (present-day Netherlands), and Germania Superior to the south (Switzerland, southwestern Germany, eastern France). The origin of the term Germania is uncertain, but was known by Caesar's time, and may be Gallic in origin.
