The Origin and Deeds of the Goths
The Origin and Deeds of the Goths (
Latin:
De origine aebusque Getarum), commonly refered to as
Getica, was written by
Jordanes in the middle of the
6th century AD, recounting the origin and the history of the
Gothic people as collected from various sources, mainly
Cassiodorus, who had written a much more extensive work on the Gothic people and their history. Because Cassiodorus' version has not survived, Jordanes' work is one of the most important sources for the period of the migration of the European tribes, and the Goths in particular, during the first six centuries AD.
