Life

Segimer was a chief of the Cherusci during the late 1st century BC and early 1st century AD. He may have led the Cherusci in their successful ambush of

1st century AD and was subsequently attacked by the Marcomanni chieftain Maroboduus together with his uncle Inguiomer in AD 17 or 18.[2]

Segimer's son Flavus appears to have remained loyal to Rome throughout the period and his son Italicus succeeded Arminius as chieftain with Roman assistance.[3]
