Germania

Germania (Greek: Γερμανία) was the Greek and Roman geographical term for the geographical regions inhabited by mainly by peoples considered to be Germani. It was most often used to refer especially to the east of the Rhine and north of the Danube River.

The Roman Empire, in their attempts to conquer the region, designated two sub-territories: Lesser Germania and Greater Germania. While Lesser Germania was to largely pacified by Rome, Greater Germania was not. The last major attempt was halted by the disasterous Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, which saw three Roman legions wiped out. Emperor Augustus ordered the withdrawl from Greater Germania.

Note
While the region of Germania does include modern Germany, it also includes parts of modern Belgium and the Netherlands. Thus, it has been made a separate article.

In Give Me Back My Legions!, the region is simply called "Germany" by the Roman characters. In Gunpowder Empire, one character from the Home timeline refers to the region as "Germania".

By the time Emperor Augustus appointed Publius Quinctilius Varus as governor of Germany, the conquest of the region had taken much longer than the emperor had wanted.

Germania in Gunpowder Empire
In the alternate known as "Agrippan Rome", General Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa lived longer than he did in the home timeline, and oversaw the successful conquest of Germania. In time, Germania became a fully Romanized province of the Empire, with several emperors, writers, and soldiers being of German descent.
