Ambrones

The Ambrones (Ancient Greek: Ἄμβρωνες) were an ancient tribe from Jutland that appeared briefly in the Roman sources relating to the 2nd century BC. In the late 2nd century BC, along with the fellow Germanic Cimbri and Teutons, the Ambrones migrated from their original homes in southern Scandinavia and on the Jutland peninsula of Denmark and invaded the Roman Republic, winning a spectacular victory at the Battle of Arausio in 105 BC. The Ambrones and the Teutons, led by Teutobod, were eventually defeated at the Battle of Aquae Sextiae in 105 BC. Some of the surviving captives are reported to have been among the rebeling Gladiators in the Third Servile War.
