It is the latest view and the mainstream view!

The Brockhaus is not talking about the Goths in the exerpt at all. Why 
don't you read first, than think and than write???!!

Nobody wrote about Gothic settlement on the territory of Germany at 
all. These type of provocations got you kicked off one discussion 
list. Why continue this behaviour, which kills off every good 
discussion??

The Mengen hoard of Ostrogothic coins is undisputed, so are the other 
charons-penny finds in south Germany as well as the Lauchheim finds. 
Not every exhibition is comprehensive! Lets discuss facts and refrain 
from provocation which only reflect badly on yourself.

Nobody spoke about settlement. Remember to read, think and than write!

Again these are mere provocations and an insult to the intelligence of 
the members of this list. Do you want to continue insulting the list 
members with that?
