A. M. 3949. The Romans could not so entirely subject the Germans to their power, but that they often attempted to shake off their yoke: hence the wars that deluged that country in blood for near three Centuries. At length the people who dwelt between the Rhine, the Weser, & the Mein, and were most exposed to Roman incursions, convinced that Union alone could insure their safety, leagued themselves together for their mutual defense, & took the appellation of Franks or Freemen. A. D. 240.
