The failure of Augustus to subdue the Germanic tribes and the celebrated disaster at Teutoburg Forest sometimes overshadows the fact that significant parts of Germany were integrated into the Roman Empire.
Augsburg, Cologne and Mainz were all capitals of Roman imperial provinces, while other important German cities that started as Roman camps/forts include Bonn, Stuttgart, Regensburg, Koblenz etc.

Germanic =/= German.
The Germinc spread is just as wide if not even more wide since 1 AD.

This map is complete bullshit. It labels known non-germanic tribes like the Carpi, Getae, Costobocii, Burii as Germanic.

This is a weird comparison… German ≠ Germanic. All Germans are Germanic, but not all Germanics are German…
