Andreas,

The information is compiled via various
sources on the Goths. I would be very
interested in further views on the other
Gothic wars if you view the events
from other angles.

Would you for instance view the 213-214 AD
Gothic-Roman as the first major war? It is
of course important for the dating of later
wars.

Concerning Ostrogotha maybe it could be
pointed out in the text (according to Jordanes)?

Thank you for your input.

Gothically

Bertil

Sorry to answer this so late, but I have a backlog of some older
mails I did not open yet. Your account (and, by the way, you later
installments of the Gothic wars have serious flaws, too) is completely
ahistoric. On which sources do you base this abstruse combination?
Moreover, the first traces of the Cernyakhov culture inside the
Carpathian region are from the first quarter of the fourth century.
Ostrogotha is a myth recorded by Jordanes in the sixth century. No
contemporary source from around 200 AD gives any name of a king
of the Goths.
