(historical) an ancient Germanic tribe.
According to historians such as Herwig Wolfram : :The Marcomanni and the Quadi gave up their special names after crossing the Danube, in fact both the emigrants and the groups remaining in Pannonia became Suebi again. Source: Internet
After his expulsion the leadership of the Marcomanni was contested by their Suebic neighbours and allies, the Hermunduri and Quadi. Source: Internet
He also describes the Marcomanni as a tribe distinct from the Suebi, and also active within the same alliance. Source: Internet
His annexation of lands of the Marcomanni and the Jazyges – perhaps to be provincially called Marcomannia and Sarmatia Birley, 253 – was cut short in 175 by the revolt of Avidius Cassius and in 180 by his death. Source: Internet
However, if we look for the peoples in the region from the upper Main in the north, south to the Danube and east to the Czech Republic where the Quadi and Marcomanni were located, Ptolemy does not give any tribes. Source: Internet
Jordanes writes that in the early 4th century the Vandals had moved to the north of the Danube, but with the Marcomanni still to their west, and the Hermunduri still to their north. Source: Internet
