Visigoths

Our friend the Historian explained us the importance of the Visigoths in Spanish art: They were one of two main branches of the Goths, an East Germanic tribe, the others were the Ostrogoths. Togethere, these tribes were among the barbarians who disturbed the late Roman Empire during the Migration Period, which was a period of human migration which marked the transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages. A Visigothic army under Alaric I eventually moved into Italy and famously sacked Rome in 410.
