The Cimbri: A Fierce and Resilient Ancient Tribe Step back in time to the late 2nd century BC, when the mighty Cimbri tribe embarked on a series of invasions that would forever leave their mark on history. From their origins in Germanic lands to their battles against the formidable Roman Empire, the they were a force to be reckoned with. Illustrated through captivating engravings and lithographs from various eras, we catch glimpses of these fearless warriors and their remarkable feats. In one image, we witness the Invasion of Roman territory by the Cimbri; an event that sent shockwaves throughout ancient Europe. Another engraving transports us to a German Village in Switzerland during 120 BC, offering a glimpse into daily life before conflict consumed them. One cannot discuss the legacy of the Cimbri without mentioning The Battle of Aquae Sextiae in 102 BC. Illustrated vividly in an early 1900s lithograph, this clash between Rome's legions and the indomitable Cimbrian forces showcased both sides' unwavering determination. Similarly, The Battle of Vercellae (also known as Battle of Raudine Plain) depicted another fierce encounter where bravery clashed with military might. However, it is not only tales of war that define this ancient tribe; there are also stories highlighting their resilience and unity. Engravings show us scenes where courageous Cimbric women defend fortifications or wagon forts from attacking Roman soldiers – showcasing their unwavering loyalty towards protecting what they hold dear. Despite facing defeat at times - as seen in depictions such as The Defeat of the Cimbri - this resilient tribe left an indelible mark on history. Their influence extended beyond battlefields; even Teutons enjoyed leisurely holidays amidst these tumultuous times according to wood engravings from c. 1882.
