Agri Decumates a region of the Roman Empire covering the Black Forest area between the Main river and the sources of Danube and Rhine rivers, presently in Southwestern Germany (modern Wurttemberg, Baden and Hohenzollern). It bordered the militarily important provinces of Raetia and Upper Germania. The only ancient reference to the name comes from Tacitus' book Germania. The meaning of Decumates is lost and has been the subject of much contention. According to the English Classicist Michael Grant, the word probably refers to an ancient Celtic term indicating the political division of the area into "ten cantons." According to Tacitus, the region had originally been populated by the Celtic tribe of the Helvetii but soon Germanic Suebi settled there before migrating, around 9 BCE, to Boiohaemum (modern day Bohemia). After the Suebi left, the area was again inhabited by Gauls. Later on, the region was to become part of the Roman Empire
