Between the first and seventh centuries AD, Gothic groups moved
thousands of miles across the map of Europe, from the fringes of
the Baltic to the shores of the Atlantic ocean. In the process,
they transformed themselves from an insignificant people on the
outskirts of the known world into highly militarized forces,
capable of carving out successor states for themselves from the
body politic of the Roman Empire.
This book draws on all the available literary and archaeological
evidence, much of the latter never before discussed in English, to
reconstruct the Goths' dramatic history, and to explore the meaning
of Gothic identity at different moments and in different
contexts.
The volume is divided into three parts, corresponding to the
three main phases in Gothic history: their early history down to
the fourth century, the revolution in Gothic society set in motion
by the arrival of the Huns, and the history of the Gothic successor
states to the western Roman Empire.
