A Teutonic tribe, the Goths. They had great power in the Roman world and from the 3rd-6th century AD. They traveled from Sweden, across the Baltic Sea and settled in the Vistula River Basin. They were the first Germanic people to become Christians.

They conquered Athens in 268 and invaded Asia Minor. The Goths were at the height of their reign in the 4th century whilst under the rule of Ermanaric, when their kingdom reached from the Black to the Baltic Sea.

Around 370, the Goths divided into two groups: the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths. The Visigoths inhabited the area between the Dneister and Danube rivers. The Ostrogoths ruled east of the Dneister River, which is modern-day Belarus and Ukraine.


They would later be the cause of the Fall of the Roman Empire.
