[gothic-l] Regnum Ostrogotorm Estimated

[Bertil Haggman]

There is of course no way to exactly define the
borders of Regnum Ostrogotorum but these
borders can be estimated in an approximate
way.

As referred to in earlier contributions it seems
likely that all the territory on the Baltic Sea from
present day Latvia to the River Elbe in the west
could be included in the Regnum.
In the north the Regnum may have followed
the River Duena to approximately the River
Volga (drawing out the line eastward) then following
the Volga down to the Caspian
Sea including the peoples of the Rosolans and the
Roxolans.

The Regnum comprised both the Tervingi and the
Greuthingi. The southern border would have been
the Danube. Peoples in the Regnum could with
this estimation have been:

Anti
Rugi
Varni
Langobardi
Marcomanni
Taifali
Vivtofali
Carpi
Bastarni
Quadi
Gepidi
Burgundi

and of course the Aestii mentioned earlier.
