An indeterminate name for an indeterminate group of people who were migrating in different parts of the Empire at the time. Some of them were certainly German speakers, but not all as the records were shaky.

Actually, there were factors underlying the fact that large numbers of Germans were crossing the borders to serve in the Roman Army and provide a cheap source of labor, since the birthrate in the Empire was dropping, inexplicably, say some.
