Maroboduus (Marbod)

King of the Marcomanni, a Suevian by birth, and brought up at the court of Augustus. After his return to his native country he succeeded in establishing a powerful kingdom in Central Germany along the northern bank of the Danube. (See Suevi.) Having become an object of suspicion to the other German tribes, he was expelled from his dominions by the Goth Catualda about A.D. 19, and took refuge in Italy, where Tiberius allowed him to remain until his death, which took place at Ravenna in A.D. 35 (Tac. Ann. ii. 44-46; Vell. Pat. ii. 108).
