Cobandi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cobandi, Greek Kobandoi, were a Germanic tribe mentioned in Ptolemy's Geography (2.10), who lived in Jutland. They apparently lived between what are now Holm and Horsens.[1]

They were probably not the same tribe as the Aviones.[2] There has been speculation that they are related to Codanus,[3] an ancient Roman name for the Kattegat.
