12" "Ermanarich" Goth Warrior
The Goths were one of the most well-known and valiant warrior cultures of the
ancient world.
Goths (150 A.D.-372 A.D.): This tribe was Germanic in origin, and migrated
to the steppe from the west instead of the east. The migration started late
in the second century, when population pressure caused them to move from Germany
down the Danube river, until they reached the Black Sea. Here they acquired
boats and used them to raid Greece and Asia Minor, Roman provinces that had
not experienced an invasion in centuries.
Around 270 more population growth caused the Goths to split into two smaller
tribes, the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths. The Visigoths stayed in Romania, while
the Ostrogoths settled the Ukraine, obtained horses and wagons, and adopted
the lifestyle of previous nomads
The Ostrogoths later challenged the Huns; the Huns reacted explosively, sweeping
away the Ostrogoth kingdom. The surviving Ostrogoths and Visigoths migrated
into the Roman Empire during the last years of the fourth century.
