De origine Gothorum (Historia de regibus Gothorum, Vandalorum et Suevorum) (560 - 636) Isidore of Seville |
| Quotation |
Romani autem Claudium Augustum pro eo quod tam fortissimam gentem a finibus rei
publicae removisset insigni gloria honorantes in foro illi aureum clipeum, in Capitolio auream
statuam conlocaverunt.
Aera CCCLXVIIII, anno XXVI imperii Constantini Gothi Sarmatarum regionem adgressi copiosissimis
super Romanos inruerunt agminibus vehementi virtute cuncta gladio et depraedatione
vastantes.
adversus quos idem Constantinus aciem instruxit ingentique certamine vix superatos ultra Danuvium
expulit, de diversis gentibus virtutis gloria clarus, sed de Gothorum victoria amplius gloriosus. |
| Translation |
But the Romans, honouring Claudius Augustus with outstanding glory in return for the fact that he had removed such a powerful people from the limits of the empire, placed in his honour a golden shield in the Forum and a golden statue in the Capitol.
In the era 369 (331), the twenty-sixth year of Constantine's rule, the Goths attacked the land of the Sarmatians and overwhelmed the Romans with very large forces, in their impetuous strength destroying everything with their slaughter and plundering. Constantine himself prepared an army against them, and after defeating them with difficulty in a great battle, drove them beyond the Danube. He was already distinguished for the fame of bravery he had shown against various nations, but he won even more glory through his victory over the Goths. (Trans Donini and Ford, pp. 3-4) |
