[gothic-l] Amali insignia

[Beril Haggman]

Albareiks,

Noted your messages on Amali royal insignia.
Personally I have never seen any info that those
were preserved, described or found.

On the contrary it seems that the Gothic kings carried
no honorary signs combined with the dress. Even
the late Visigothic kings, which were greatly influenced
by the Romans, did not differ much from the nobility in
appearance. There was probably a staff,
which the king shared with judges.

Jordanes does not to my knowledge mention Amal
insignia.

Gothically
