Usipetes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Usipetes were a Germanic tribe that existed during the 1st century.
Tacitus records that a cohort of Usipi (who may have been synonymous with the Usipetes) took part as auxiliaries in the military campaigns of the general Agricola in Britannia. The Usipetes are not mentioned in Tacitus' Germania but are recorded by Julius Caesar in his Gallic War (IV,1; 4; 16; 18; VI,35), as having invaded Gaul in 55 BC.
