Eburones - Germanic Tribe in Belgium

Sunday January 22, 2006
In 54 B.C. the Eburones, a Germanic tribe in the area now known as Belgium, revolted from Rome. The Eburones, like the Germans who later ambushed Varus in the Teutoberg Wald disaster, tricked the Romans, led them into an ambush, and rained missiles down on them.
