Maroboduus

king of the Marcomanni

30 BCE to 37 CE

Maroboduus (born c. in 30 BCE, died in CE 37), is king of the Marcomanni.

The name "Maroboduus" can be broken down into two Celtic elements, māro- meaning "great" (cf.

Welsh mawr, Irish mór), and bodwos meaning "raven" (cf.

Irish badhbh).

As there is extensive mingling of Germanic tribes and Celts in this period, a Germanic or mixed Germanic-Celtic tribe led by a man with a Celtic name would be nothing unusual.
