Answer
The Alamanni were a Germanic tribe that lived in the area of present-day Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. In 285, the Alamanni invaded the Roman province of Raetia. The Roman emperor Maximian led an army against the Alamanni and defeated them in a battle at Vindonissa. The Alamanni were forced to withdraw from Raetia, but they continued to raid Roman territory for many years.
