Julius Caesar's campaigns establish contact with the Germanic tribes. (jan 1, 55 BC – jan 1, 0)
Description:
By the time Julius Caesar began his campaigns in Gaul (58 - 50 BCE), Germanic tribes had settled west of the Rhine River and had reached the Danube River in the south. Caesar's victories in Germany confined the Germans to east of the Rhine, but a later German victory halted Roman progress and left the large part of Germany free from Roman occupation.Added to timeline:
