Some might quibble, but my understanding is that the Franks are/were a Germanic tribe. It is also my understanding, that they appeared later than the Germanic tribes the Romans first encountered in their conquest of northern/western Europe. Somewhere in the process they started speaking a Latin based language rather than a Germanic based tongue.
APEX: Roman Catholicism remained the dominant religion.
The western part of the empire was invaded by Germanic peoples: the Vandals, Alans, Sueves, Burgundians and Alemanni. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians migrated to England in waves. Germanic peoples are peoples which belonging to the Germanic linguistic group of northwestern and central Europe which now includes German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and English.
It was not until the Romans under Julius Caesar conquered Gaul that Gaul was controlled by one group--the Romans. Previously to this Gaul was a mixture of various tribes each having their own territory and allies.
The Austrian Empirewas not. It was definately the Romans. They had just fought back the Germanic tribes and claimed the entire almost island.
