Not to be confused with Germany.
Germania /dʒɜːrˈmeɪniə/ Latin: [ɡɛrˈmaːnɪ.a], originally an expression in ancient Rome for the wide expanses inhabited by Germani. In the art of cartography - and generally in terms of geography - the comprehension of the ancient place-name has remained, whereas even today rests a dispute on what exactly defines the ethnography of Germania. Magna Germania, often just Germania, extended to the north of the Rhine eastward to the Vistula river, and from the springs of the Danube and Main rivers east towards the Carpathian Basin.[1] The place-name Germania became obsoleted after a centuries long history as a 'historical region' in classical antiquity.
