{{Main|Lugii}}
The Lugii, who were also mentioned in early classical sources in the same region, are likely to have been the same people as the Vandals.<ref name= Anderson>{{harvnb|Anderson|1938|p=198}}</ref><ref name= Wolfram>{{harvnb|Wolfram|1997|p=42}}</ref> The Lugii are mentioned by [[Strabo]], [[Tacitus]] and [[Ptolemy]] as a large group of tribes between the Vistula and the Oder. Strabo and Ptolemy do not mention the Vandals at all, only the Lugii, Tacitus mentions them in a passage about the ancestry of the Germanic peoples without saying where they lived, and Pliny the Elder in contrast mentions the Vandals but not the Lugii.{{sfn|Berndt|2010|p=549}} [[Walter Pohl]] and [[Walter Goffart]] have noted that Ptolemy seems to distinguish the Silingi from the Lugii, and in the 2nd century the Hasdings, when they appear in the Roman record, are also distinguished from the Lugii.<ref>Pohl, ''Die Germanen'', p. 23; Goffart, ''Barbarian Tides'', p. 298, footnote 47.</ref> [[Herwig Wolfram]] notes that "In all likelihood the Lugians and the Vandals were one cultic community that lived in the same region of the Oder in Silesia, where it was first under [[Celts|Celtic]] and then under Germanic domination."<ref name= Wolfram/> This may account for the differentiation between the Celtic Lugii and their more Germanic successors the Vandals.
