The Cimbri were an ancient Germanic people who inhabited the region of Jutland (modern-day Denmark) during the 1st century BC. They were known for their raids, migrations, and clashes with the Roman Republic. The Romans encountered the Cimbri during their attempts to expand their empire, particularly during the Cimbrian War (113-101 BC) and the subsequent Battle of Vercellae (101 BC).
Over time, the name "Cimbri" evolved into "Kimbria" in Latin, and it gradually gained usage in various contexts across history.
