Agri Decumātes

“Tithe-lands.” The name given by the Romans to a part of Germany, east of the Rhine and north of the Danube, which they took possession of when the Germans retired eastward, and which they gave to the Gauls, and subsequently to their own veterans, on the payment of a tenth of the produce (decuma). Towards the beginning of the second century A.D. these lands were incorporated in the Roman Empire.
