Historical
Migration
Germany and Belgium in ancient history
The Migration Period in Europe :
…was a period of human migration that occurred during roughly AD 300–700
in Europe, marking the transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages.
These movements were catalyzed by profound changes within both the Roman
Empire and the so-called "barbarian frontier". Migrating peoples during this
period included the Huns, Goths, Vandals, Avars, Bulgars, Alans, Suebi,
Frisians, and Franks, among other Germanic and Slavic tribes.
Migrations of peoples, although not strictly part of the Migration, continued
beyond the period usually referred to as the Migration Period, marked by the
Arab conquest or Rise of the Ottoman Empire, and by Viking, Magyar, Moorish,
Turkic, and Mongol invasions, these also had significant effects, especially in
North Africa, the Iberian peninsula, Anatolia, Central and Eastern Europe
Chronology :
The first phase took place between AD 300 and 500, somewhat documented
in the Mediterranean literary sources of Greek and Latin historians, and
difficult to verify in archaeology, put Germanic peoples in control of most
areas of the then Western Roman Empire.
The second phase took place between 500 and 700, saw Slavic tribes settling
in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in eastern Magna Germania, and
gradually making it predominantly Slavic. In 567, the Avars -alongside with
the Lombards- destroyed much of the Gepid Kingdom. The Lombards, a
Germanic people, settled in northern Italy in the region now known as
Lombardy. The Bulgars, people of either Turkic or Iranic origin who had been
present in far Eastern Europe since the 2nd century, conquered the eastern
Balkan territory of the Byzantine Empire in the 7th century.

Map of the Roman Empire and Germania
Under the Emperors/ Belgium
During the 1st century AD (estimated date 90 AD), the provinces of Gaul were
restructured. Emperor Domitian reorganized the provinces in order to separate the
militarized zones of the Rhine from the civilian populations of the region.[10]
The northern Gallia Belgica was renamed Germania Inferior (around modern
Belgium), the eastern part Germania Superior (West Germany and Eastern
France) and the southern border of Gallia Belgica was extended to the south. The
newer Gallia Belgica included the cities of Camaracum (Cambrai), Nemetacum
(Arras), Samarobriua (Amiens), Durocorter (Reims), Diuidorum (Metz) and
Augusta Treverorum (Trier).
Emperor Diocletian restructured the provinces around 300, and split Belgica into
two provinces: Belgica Prima and Belgica Secunda. Belgica Prima had Treveri
(Trier) as its main city, and consisted of the eastern part. The border between
Belgica Prima and Belgica Secunda was approximately along the River Meuse.
Gallia Belgica
•Roman Province (BeNeLux, northeastern France and western
Germany)
Capital: Reims, and later Trier
•Celtic and Germanic tribes = Belgae
•Borders the Marne, the Seine and the Rhine
•Historical heart of the Low Countries
Gallia Belgica
•57 BC, Julius Caesar led the conquest of Gallia Belgica
•Quote: ´The bravest Gauls are the Belgae, because their culture
and inhabitants are located far away from the rest of the province,
because few merchants visit them, and because they are close to
Germania, which is across the Rhine and with whom they are at
war.
•Meaning: Belgae are the bravest people of the Roman
Empire
Fall of Gallia Belgica
• 406 AD:
• Vandals, Burgundians crossed the Rhine and
defeated the Gaulish Forces
The End !
