Triboci Triboces Tribocians
The Triboci are classified as a Germanic tribe, a subgroup of the Suebi. They migrated from present-day central Germany, settling on the Rhine River in present-day northeastern France. They were one of the tribes of Germanics that fought under Ariovistus in 60 b.c.e. against the Aedui, allies of the Romans. Some of them may have settled to the east in the homeland of the Mediomatrici about this time. Under the Roman occupation the main town of the Triboci became known as Argentoratum (now Strasbourg) for "silver fort."
