1. Diocles and Bassanus (Basanus Magnus or Bassianus) were 3rd-century BC mythical kings of the Sicambri (a Classical Germanic tribe), fabricated in Medieval genealogical accounts of the descent of the Merovingian kings from the Sicambri, the Cimmerians (or Scythians), and ultimately, the Trojans. Some sources name the son executed for adultery as Sedanus.
