| | It is interesting to note, on the issue of whether the Treverii were celtic or germanic, that there has been no ceramic evidence to point to a germanic relation. | | | The Belgae Confederation is seen more as a hybrid of germanic and celtic groups, possibly a hybrid language as well, but the jury is out on the language: | | | Following the failure of the uprising of 54/53 B.C. the leading families of the Treveri are reported to have crossed the Rhine, to settle among the Germanic tribes. |

| | For instance, the Ealdriht might consider themselves a tribe, but they might also consider that tribe a subset of Anglo-Saxon heathendom, which is a subset of Germanic heathendom. | | | In Native American myths you often have myths where people were gathered together, but did not yet identify themselves as a tribe. | | | If they also have land that they identify with, if being a part of the tribe automatically includes the practice of a specific religion or branch of a religion as the case may be, and if they have a common history of ceremonies, traditions, and so on, then they are a tribe. |

| | Among those freed in the autumn of 57, were the Eburones, a Germanic speaking tribe living between the rivers Meuse and Rhine. | | | The truth was, however, that they scorned those officers, thinking that they would not prove competent to defend their men and not expecting that Caesar would quickly make an expedition against their tribe. | | | The Treverian leader sent messages to the tribes on the east bank of the Rhine and to the Senones (who lived along the Seine), and the Fourth legion was besieged, but the soldiers were able to cope with the crisis and Indutiomarus was killed after an unsuccessful attack. |
