- 8-6 BC - Marcomanni from the northern Bavarian and Main river area went to the original homeland of the Boii in Boemia Bohemia and under king Marbod formed a Confederation of Marcomanni, Lugier, Semnonen, Lombards, and others. Under king Ariovisto they fought against take-overs by Roman emperor Caesar Augustus.
