After five decades of close alliance with Roman Power, in the late 1st Century AD the Suebian Confederation split off and its eastern members, Quadi and Marcomanni, entered the way of direct conflict with Rome. Those events were an essential part of the violent geopolitical readjustment of the Danubian space which its main display were the Dacian Wars happened under the reigns of Domitian and Trajan, becoming an inflection point on the Foreign Affairs of the Roman Empire in Danube’s high course until the burst of the Marcomannic Wars more than half a century later. Throughout this article we are going to enter the causes of the Suebian Confederation breakup, the wars sustained by Quadi and Marcomanni against Romans and their allies, as well as the role played by the Dacian Wars and its main actors in these conflagrations and their resolution.

In dem Aufsatz wird eine 1994 in Offenburg-Bühl entdeckte römerzeitliche Grabinschrift eines princeps Sueborum behandelt. Die im 1. Jh. n. Chr. gesetzte Inschrift liefert neue wichtige Erkenntnisse zur römischen Verwaltung der rechtsrheinischen Gebiete der (späteren) Provinz Germania superior vor der Einrichtung von Gebietskörperschaft ab trajanischer Zeit. Die Besiedlung wurde von gentil organisierten Gruppen getragen, denen von der römischen Verwaltung gebilligte principes vorstanden.

No presente artigo, temos como objetivo realizar uma comparação entre as emulações godas e suevas de algumas instituições romanas na primeira metade do século V. A partir disso, queremos demonstrar como as apropriações dessas tradições romanas foram realizadas em diferentes contextos e, em alguns casos, de forma distinta por essas duas populações. Por fim, pretendemos mostrar como a assimilação de características romanas resultou na criação de uma nova identidade romano-bárbara para esses povos.
In this article, we aim to make a comparison between the goths, and suebi's emulations of some Roman institutions in the first half of the fifth century. Onwards we want to show how appropriations of these Roman traditions were carried out in different contexts and, in some cases, in distinct ways by these two populations. Finally, we intend to show how the assimilation of Roman features resulted in a creation of a new Roman-Barbarian identity by these peoples.

The name Suebi is one of the basic terms in ancient literature concerning the area between the rives Rhine and Danube. Like any descriptive term applied from outside, it developed and acquired various levels and contents. The study is concerned with the formation of the concept in Caesar’s Memoirs of the Gallic War. The author considers the familiar problem of the origin of the work. It is still unclear whether Caesar wrote it all at once or gradually. This also concerns the question of the Suebi. In this context, the author considers the Suebi as they appear in Book Six. The Suebi here recall the Suebi in Book Four and they remain Caesar’s undefeated enemies, but they also have more realistic features. They appear to be only one of the tribes, which seeks refuge from the Romans in forests. The study offers an explanation of these contradictions and analyses their place in individual parts of the work.
