After this victory the Marcomanni, the Quadi, as well as the rest of the barbarians, sued for peace. |
Within his own alliance were various Suebic peoples, Hermunduri, Quadi, Semnones, Lugii, Zumi, Butones, Mugilones, Sibini and Langobards. |
The Quadi are on the edge of greater Suebia, having the Sarmatians to the southeast. |
After his expulsion the leadership of the Marcomanni was contested by their Suebic neighbours and allies, the Hermunduri and Quadi. |
Very likely, they had been in part the Boii, who were a strong force on the Danube until they encountered the Marcomanni and Quadi. |
The Anarti, together with the Celtic Cotini, are described by Tacitus as vassals of the powerful Quadi Germanic people. |
