thumb|The migrations of the Teutons and the Cimbri. Cimbri, Ambrone and Teuton defeats. Cimbri, Ambrone and Teuton victories. The Ambrones () were an ancient tribe mentioned by Roman authors. They are believed by some to have been a Germanic tribe from Jutland; the Romans were not clear about their exact origin.
In the late 2nd century BC, along with the Cimbri and Teutons, the Ambrones migrated from their original homeland and invaded the Roman Republic, and won a spectacular victory at the Battle of Arausio in 105 BC. The Ambrones and the Teutons, led by Teutobod, were eventually defeated at the Battle of Aquae Sextiae in 102 BC.
