Something did. The Tungri arrived in the Northwwest.

****GK: As usual, you are totally confused. The Vandals are not the Venedi, and the Tungri are not the Thuringii. The Thuringii were unknown before ca. 300 CE. As late as the 5th century Romans easily distinguished Tungri from Thuringii. In any case, the Tungri mentioned by Tacitus have not been shown by professional archaeologists to have been carriers of the Przeworsk culture.****
