Yes, ...this has been a belief/interest of mine, aside from the other
areas of study. I do believe that the Goths played into the Gothic
architectural style, but it will be years before I can properly prove
or disprove it (to my own satisfaction, that is).

But in Tim's defense, I do find Roman civ. interesting (and to a
point, a necessity in knowledge), it's just not what I am looking for
at this point in my studies. I want viewpoints that originate with a
sympathy a bit more to the 'north' than south (northern europe vs
roman empire).

Something that I have missed here (on this group), though, is what
evidence there is to support the hypotheses of the Goths being
Germanic in origin instead of Scandzan. I lean towards Scandzan, but
well documented & published research is something I do not wish to
rule out.
And also if any burial sites/funeral sites have ever been identified
as 'Goth' in origin within Romania (Dacia, etc.) and where those
references might be found. I know of a dig going on there this
summer - of a 3rd century germanic necropolis - and was curious as to
whether any other similar digs have been undertaken within the same
region in the past.


I should like to read your article when it is published, as well.
Email me when you get it there, please.
