Despite the large variations in spellings of their name the Varisci, Varisti, Naristi, or Narisci were a single Germanic people, known from several historical records from the Roman era. Tacitus reported their location in about 100 AD as being just north of the Roman frontier on the Danube river, east of the Hermunduri, whose territory stretched from the Raetian part of the Danube to the sources of the Elbe, and west of the Marcomanni and Quadi.
