Little is known about the Suebi who crossed the Rhine on the night of 31 December 406 AD and entered the Roman Empire.

The provinces of Lusitania, Baetica, and Carthaginiensis were subjected to the Suevi with the exception of the Levante and the Mediterranean seaboard. [5] Rechila was involved in near constant war with the Romans. While returning in 440 from his third embassy to the Suevi, the Roman legate Censorius was captured by Rechila near Mértola ...
