The Goths, a group of Germanic tribes, were famed for being fierce adversaries of the Roman Empire. Detailed accounts of their “barbaric” conquests — and their infamous sacking of Rome in 410 A.D. — can be found throughout historical texts. However, little has been passed down about their social structure, leaving numerous questions for modern-day researchers. How did they organize themselves? Was their society just as stratified as the Romans? The recent discovery of a well-preserved Gothic grave in Poland sheds light on these questions and provides evidence for the presence of an “elite” group of rulers, according to a study published in April in the journal Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences.

Interesting find of these mysterious ancient peoples. As most do, I do remember the name coming up history, but that was a very long past time. Perhaps these digs and accompanied findings will shed light on the origin and life of these ancient peoples. Whilst in first thinking, this is simply ancient history of a peoples no longer that exist, but to think a bit more clearly will bring up curiosity of perhaps this would tie into our own personal ancestorial history and origins.
