I think people of practically all cultures travel with their families
and love their children - so you probably don't need to back this up
with literature references. If you take any standard work on Gothic
history such as Peter Heather or Herwig Wolfram, you would find that
they were more than just single-mindedly looking for war. If you look
at books like Schaetze der Ostgoten, you can see many examples of
their refined artwork.
