 Caesar also referred to other tribes living over the east of the Rhine as "Germani", and he called that region "Germania", considering it their homeland.He may have been the first to extend the term in this way, which has now influenced many modern languages.So he distinguished the "Germani" in the Belgic area as ""Germani cisrhenani"", and treated the other "Germani" as the ones living in their real homeland, which some Roman geographers came to refer to as "Magna Germania".
