  1. Historical Migration Germany andBelgium in ancienthistory

  2. The Migration Period in Europe : …was a period of human migration that occurred during roughly AD 300–700 in Europe, marking the transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages. These movements were catalyzed by profound changes within both the Roman Empire and the so-called "barbarian frontier". Migrating peoples during this period included the Huns, Goths, Vandals, Avars, Bulgars, Alans, Suebi, Frisians, and Franks, among other Germanic and Slavic tribes. Migrations of peoples, although not strictly part of the Migration, continued beyond the period usually referred to as the Migration Period, marked by the Arab conquest or Rise of the Ottoman Empire, and by Viking, Magyar, Moorish, Turkic, and Mongol invasions, these also had significant effects, especially in North Africa, the Iberian peninsula, Anatolia, Central and Eastern Europe

  3. Chronology : The first phase took place between AD 300 and 500, somewhat documented in the Mediterranean literary sources of Greek and Latin historians, and difficult to verify in archaeology, put Germanic peoples in control of most areas of the then Western Roman Empire. The second phase took place between 500 and 700, saw Slavic tribes settling in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in eastern Magna Germania, and gradually making it predominantly Slavic. In 567, the Avars -alongside with the Lombards- destroyed much of the Gepid Kingdom. The Lombards, a Germanic people, settled in northern Italy in the region now known as Lombardy. The Bulgars, people of either Turkic or Iranic origin who had been present in far Eastern Europe since the 2nd century, conquered the eastern Balkan territory of the Byzantine Empire in the 7th century.

  9. Under the Emperors/ Belgium During the 1st century AD (estimated date 90 AD), the provinces of Gaul were restructured. Emperor Domitian reorganized the provinces in order to separate the militarized zones of the Rhine from the civilian populations of the region.[10] The northern Gallia Belgica was renamed Germania Inferior (around modern Belgium), the eastern part Germania Superior (West Germany and Eastern France) and the southern border of Gallia Belgica was extended to the south. The newer Gallia Belgica included the cities of Camaracum (Cambrai), Nemetacum (Arras), Samarobriua (Amiens), Durocorter (Reims), Diuidorum (Metz) and Augusta Treverorum (Trier). Emperor Diocletian restructured the provinces around 300, and split Belgica into two provinces: Belgica Prima and BelgicaSecunda. Belgica Prima had Treveri (Trier) as its main city, and consisted of the eastern part. The border between Belgica Prima and BelgicaSecunda was approximately along the River Meuse.
