The Goths sought to cross the Danube into Roman territory primarily due to pressures from the Huns, who were pushing them westward. Seeking refuge, they hoped to find safety and stability within the Roman Empire. Additionally, they were motivated by the prospect of better resources and opportunities for trade and settlement in the fertile lands of the empire. This migration ultimately led to significant conflicts and the eventual decline of Roman authority in the region.

Why did the Romans stop paying the goths?

It is not known. The Romans started paying a tribute to the Goths around 225 A.D., after they settled in Ukraine, near the lower River Danube area of the Roman Empire, to prevent them from attacking the empire. They probably stopped paying because the Goths did attack the empire. In late 248, the legions of the River Danube area rebelled and proclaimed a usurper emperor. The Quadi and other Germanic tribes took advantage of this to cross the frontier and raid the mid-Danube area of the empire. At the same time, probably temped by the opportunity created by the situation, the Goths invaded the lower Danube area of the empire and laid siege to the city of Marcianopolis (in present day Bulgaria).

Why did the Germanic people begin entering Roman territory in large numbers?

The first Germanic peoples to cross into Roman territories did so to carry out raids and loot. They then returned to their homelands. The First Germanic peoples to settle in parts of the Roman Empire were the Salian Franks and the Visigoths. The Salian Franks moved across the mouth of the River Rhine into Holland south of that river and northern Belgium in the late 3rd century. They did so because they were pushed southwards by other Germanic peoples, probably the Saxons. The Romans allowed them to settle in this area, which they called Toxandria, and gave them protection. The Salian Franks became allies of the Romans, and fought alongside their troops and supplied solders for the Roman army. The Visigoths asked the Romans to allow them to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the advance of the Huns into eastern Europe. The emperor Valens granted this in 376.
