Kaloukones

The Kaloukones ( Greek  Καλούκονες or Greek  Καλούκωνες ) were an ancient tribe that was only handed down from Claudius Ptolemaeus in his geography in the eleventh chapter of the second book on Germania magna . The Kaloukones were adjacent to the Silingians around 150 AD . Their settlement area was probably near today's Riesa on the Elbe in Saxony .
