THE BOKOHUZD OF THIUDAREIKS GUNTHIGG
A Guide to Gothic Names
Romans and other southerners have some trouble with Gothic names, which is why you see fine and noble names like Audawakrs, Wraihja and Airmamareiks mangled in Latin and Greek texts as 'Odovacar', 'Uraias' and 'Ermanaric'. This scroll gives you a guide to the construction of Gothic names and their meanings.
The Battle of Adrianople
A account of the great Gothic victory over the Romans - the glorious battle which saw the birth of our western cousins, the Visigoths, as a nation of significance within the Empire and which saw the pride of the Emperor Valens humbled.
'Clades Variana' - Home of the Varus Film Project
Help create the screenplay to an accurate Roman historical film. In September, 9 AD, Publius Quinctilius Varus led his three legions out of their summer base on the Weser in the new province of Germania Magna and headed west to his winter base at Aliso on the Lippe River. A few days later only a handful of his force of over 20,000 elite troops were still alive.
Learn about one of the greatest military disasters in Roman history, read the screenplay so far, and contribute to the discussions on the 'Varus Forum'. There are also Readers' Polls, source material on the battle, historical and archaeological links and resources and much more.
The Prefecture of Pontius Pilatus
An account of the evidence relating to Pontius Pilatus and the death of Our Divine Frauja Jesus Christ, God and Son of God.
The Weight of Medieval Armour
An analysis of the weight of armour from 500-1500, dispelling some of the myths of cumbersome and clumsy medieval knights. Some Romans have strange ideas about the Middle Ages being a benighted 'Dark Age', so expect more works like this here soon.
