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.
