| | Hence it is not improbable that he derived his information from Nero's agent, who had been sent (apparently by way of Carnuntum) to examine the amber coasts. | | | In Tacitus' account the Swedes (Suiones) present a striking contrast to all the other nations of Germany. | | | The tribes mentioned last before the Suionee are the Gotones, Rugii and Lemouii; after the Suiones he passes immediately to the Aestii. |

| | Sweden was first mentioned in the 1st century, by Tacitus, who wrote that the Suiones lived out in the sea and were powerful in both arms and ships. | | | Some evidence supports the theory that southern Sweden was densely populated during the Nordic Bronze Age, as remains of large trading communities from this period have been found. | | | Jordanes wrote, in the 6th century, that the Swedes were the suppliers of black fox skins for the Roman market and had the best horses beside the Thuringians. |

In the mention of these exceptions, the great historian sufficiently acknowledges the general theory of government. | | | "Among the Suiones (says Tacitus) riches are held in honor. |
