Armalausi

The Armalausi were a Germanic tribe , which appears on the Tabula Peutingeriana in the 3rd and 4th centuries between the two tribes of the Alamanni and the Marcomanni . The Armalausi were probably part of the Hermunduren tribe . The historian and cartographer Philippus Brietius located it in 1650 on his map Imperium Romanum probably near the Upper Palatinate . The Armalausi probably merged with the Alamanni tribe in the 4th century. The name means "sleeveless".
