Fall Asleep to the ENTIRE History of The Goths

The Goths were a fierce and transformative force in the twilight years of the Roman Empire. Originally migrating out of northern Europe, these Germanic tribes split into two main branches: the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths. The Visigoths famously sacked Rome in 410 CE under Alaric, shaking the empire to its core and symbolizing the beginning of its end. Meanwhile, the Ostrogoths carved out their own kingdom in Italy, led by the legendary Theodoric the Great. Far from being mindless barbarians, the Goths had a complex society, rich traditions, and even developed their own written language. They adopted Christianity, blended Roman customs with their own, and left a lasting impact on the future of Europe. In this episode, we explore the rise, conquests, and legacy of the Goths — a people who helped bury one empire and lay the groundwork for medieval Europe.
