 Because modern Veluwe is north of the Rhine, and outside the territory of the Tungri, their levy into the military is either a case where a Germanic tribe was recruited from outside the borders, or else it relates to another Veluwe such as the Groote Peel national park between Eindhoven and Venlo.Their name has been compared with the name Vellaus, the name of a god found in some inscriptions.Already during the Gallic Wars of Caesar, tribes of Germanic people were raiding over the Rhine, and many were eventually settled there.
