Episode 2: The Goths Beyond the Frontier
Before the Goths became one of Rome’s greatest enemies, they were already deeply connected to the empire. Gothic warriors served in Roman armies, Roman coins and goods crossed the Danube, and Gothic rulers received payments and military opportunities from Rome.
In Episode 2 of The Fall of Rome, we explore life beyond the Roman frontier, the rise of Gothic power, the complex relationship between Romans and barbarians, and the arrival of the Huns that pushed Gothic refugees toward the Danube in 376 AD.

The fall of the Roman Empire was not one dramatic event in 476 AD. It was a long process of migration, political fragmentation, war, economic breakdown and regional change that unfolded over generations. In Episode 1, we establish the timeline from the Gothic crossing of the Danube in 376 through the age of Justinian, and ask what it actually means to say that Rome “fell.”
