or Teutoni, a powerful tribe of the ancient Germans, who, according to Pliny, originally dwelt to the N.E. of the Elbe. About the year 113 B.C., a large body of them, along with the Cimbri from Jutland, left their native seats and moved southwards. They invaded Gaul, and ravaged it from end to end, defeating several Roman armies that attempted to check their progress. When the Cimbri entered Spain, the Teutones remained in Gaul; but they also extended their incursions eastwards as far as Pannonia. At length, after carrying on their destructive ravages for about ten years, they were totally defeated by the Roman consul Marius, near Agna Sextiae, in 102 B.C., losing, according to the lowest estimate of Roman writers, 100,000 slain, and 80,000 or 90,000 taken prisoners. A body of 6000 who escaped settled between the mouths of the Meuse and Scheld, and were the ancestors of the Adnati. The Teutones are not mentioned in history for a long time afterwards; but Strabo and Pliny describe them as, in their day, still occupying their ancient seats in the north-west of Germany.
