"There follow in order the Reudignians, and Aviones, and Angles and Varinians, and Eudoses, and Suardones, and Nuithones; all defended by rivers or forests. Nor in one of these nations does aught remarkable occur, only that they universally join in the worship of Herthum (Nerthus) that is to say, the Mother Earth." —Tacitus, ‘Germania’ Herthum (Nerthus)
