Who were the ancient Goths of Europe, and how did they go from conquerors of the Roman Empire, to the strange underground subculture we see today? Today we will discuss the history of the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Vandals and other relevant groups from around this time period, and how they managed to dominate Europe, if only for the briefest of moments, only to fall into obscurity in only a matter of decades (or did they?)

Please let me know your thoughts on the Goths as a nation, culture, kingdom and their influences on our modern societies today. Thanks for watching!

Music:    • Beethoven  Symphony No.7  Allegretto
