How an Empire Ends: Culture of the Goths
Description
Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon!
In our last episode, we delved into the archaeology of the pre-Roman Goths. But what about Gothic culture? What do we know about pre-Roman Gothic culture, before the Goths were Romanized?
To get a real sense of what is authentically Gothic is really difficult. We don’t have much information about the Goths’ daily lives or culture. We know almost nothing about their pre-Christian religious practices and beliefs. What we do have is a lot of military history from a Roman lens, and accounts from chroniclers like Tacitus—which have a lot of issues.
In this episode, we try to peel back the layers and discover what we can about pre-Roman Gothic culture.
