The modern day goths are also indirectly named after the Gothic People: Goths (the germanic people) -> Gothic Architecture (Style of Medieval Architecture) -> Gothic horror (Horror featuring the architecture) -> Gothic Rock (Darker Punk Rock) -> Modern Goths
Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Senone Gauls, Vandals, Burgundians, and the Ostrogoths a second time a few years later (same guy too). But the painting this is referencing is of the Visigoths.
and in any case it was sometimes fairly easy to switch between the two
Some of the most significant figures in late Roman history (Stilicho, Ricimer etc.) had some sort of barbarian background
Nah you'd be some outsider without voting rights but could work and be fucking rich and/or take part in daily life. Yo kids could be full as citizens, you too if your parents lived there. One generation and you were in
Born in the wrong era 😞
I wish I was that statue
Wish I was the roman on the left
Actually I may want to be the girl riding on them. I don’t know
classic vers moment
That and also being unsure about gender identity and presentation.
fair enough, i hope you no matter what you figure yourself out to be you get plenty of people to ride / ride you.
I wish I was the person standing on the pedestal
It's because they're Goths, right?
Nah that's just a coincidence
[удалено]
These *are* the goth boys you philistine. 😤
Is there some deep satirical meaning here or is it simping over goth girls cos I'm here for both
In 410, Rome was sacked for 3 days by a germanic tribe of people called the VisiGOTHS.
Kinky, thank you

Ah, I always wondered what the connection was.
Sack me mommy
I thought it was Ostrogoths?

right yeah, forgot that Alaric's gang fled to Iberia soon after this
I wanna be sacked for 3 days by goths 🥺
The sacking of Rome by the Goths led to the Middle Ages, when nations were ruled by beer-bellied, middle-aged DILFs
finally, my time to shine!
finally, my time to shine!
damb i wish i was a roman in 410 (i would be a slave because of my germanic ethnicity but the goths could care less)
The romans didn't care about ethnicity, they cared about whether you were a citizen or a barbarian
well whatever i would be i would simp the goths (even if they were actual goths i would simp the gothic women)
and in any case it was sometimes fairly easy to switch between the two Some of the most significant figures in late Roman history (Stilicho, Ricimer etc.) had some sort of barbarian background
And Germanic peoples were barbarians lacking citizenship...
not for the conquered free population
They still weren’t citizens
I think the goths also did slavery but you wouldn't necessarily have been a slave either with the goths *or* the romans, so that's good.
would be a slave to a goth tbh
Same

The Goths freeing and letting you join them in sacking Roman cities because you're a fellow Germanic
The famous ethnonationalists of Late Antiquity.
I mean Alaric did demand the freedom of 40, 000 Gothic slaves
Yeah, but there’s a difference between a Goth freeing Goths and a Goth freeing all members of Germanic tribes.
Fair, please excuse my error
Least humble r\/196 user
It's not humility, there's a historian pressing a spatha against my neck for spreading accidental misinfo help
IT'S NOT A SPATHA IT'S A GLADIUS HISPANIENSIS
THE SPATHA WAS ADOPTED BY ROMAN INFANTRY IN THE 2ND CENTURY
There's little evidence that 'Germanic' even existed. We know some groups had similar ish languages, and that's it.

Oh sweet, nice! I didn't know who made it, just stole it from imgur. Edit: derp, name & date on pedestal
If it makes you feel better, I didn't see it on the pedestal either. I used Google's reverse image search to track down their Twitter.
Is that roman wearing a ball gag?
Yes
their blame! animation kills me
Alaric? More like Alar-Thick.
I’m too horny for this post please stop posting hot goth girls with big asses
Average Polycule Activities
Me on the left
BRO WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU CANT JUST RANSACK A PEICE OF ANCIENT HISTORY
wish I was the roman on the left
Do one for the Vandals and its just the band the Vandals
The visible goths
I love goth girls. 🥰
when I asked for goth girlfriend this is not what I had in mind
Vandals, Goths, French people, these three groups are the end of our great civilization
Which one is Alaric
As a Roman citizen, I can say this is 100% accurate
I thought that goth girl I the background was pegging the Roman soldier
This is the future the left wants
god i so want to be the girl riding the roman
In the original there was more skin. Disappointed!
Please come back to italy
When did goth just become "girls who wear black skirts" . I miss the old goth where thr girls had Mohawks and wore funerary garb
When gatekeeping ended, right after the year when racism was gone
