All of Germania is separated from the Gauls, Raetians and Pannonians by the rivers Rhine and Danube, and from the Sarmatians and Dacians by mutual awe or mountains: the ocean surrounds the rest, encompassing wide peninsulas and the vast areas of islands, their peoples and kings just recently known to us, with whom war has now begun.

Since that time the distinction between the two races, the conqueror or Gothic and the Roman or conquered, had almost disappeared, and the men of the north had become confounded with those of midday in a single nation, to whose grandiosity had contributed that with the rough virtues of savage Germania, this with the traditions of Roman culture and polity.

The ancient Romans were much more familiar with North Africa and West Asia than they were with Germania or Scythia.
