	Valens - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Gothic people in the northern region had supported Procopius in his revolt against Valens, and Valens had learned the Goths were planning an uprising of their own.
		These Goths, more specifically the Tervingi, were at the time under the leadership of Athanaric and had apparently remained peaceful since their defeat under Constantine in 332.
		In the spring of 367, with the support of his nephew Gratian, the Western Roman Emperor, Valens crossed the Danube and marched on Athanaric's Goths.

		The prefect of the praetorium Modestus and the two ministers of the Department of Internal Revenue Fortunatianus and Tatianus appeared favorable to welcome the Tervingi as the immission of new human resources would have strengthened the army and the imperial treasure.
		Fritigernus, the head of the Tervingi, dissimulated the anger, that was rising among the Barbarians, and he pretended to have benevolent intentions toward the Romans, on the contrary it seemed that he tried to calm the minds of his own people.
		The Tervingi began a systematic pillage of the Thrace and the Moesia.

		The representatives of his son Witheric put an end to the conflict by accepting the condition of vassalage.
		Balamir now directed his victorious arms still farther westward against that portion of the Visigothic nation (or Tervingi) which acknowledged the authority of Athanaric.
		The latter entrenched himself on the frontier which had separated him from the Ostrogoths, behind the Greutungrampart and the Dniester; but he was surprised by the enemy, who forded the river in the night, fell suddenly upon his camp, and compelled him to abandon his position.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Valens
		These Goths, more specifically the Tervingi, were at the time under the leadership of the iudex Athanaric and had apparently remained peaceful since their defeat under Constantine in 332.
		Whatever their motivation, the Tervingi had given grave offense by supporting Procopius and after Valens' victory at Nacoleia, he set about preparing an expedition against them.
		When the riparian commanders began abusing the Tervingi under their charge, these revolted in early 377 and defeated the Roman units in Thrace outside of Marcianople.

	Visigoth
		The Visigoths, originally Tervingi, or Vesi ("the noble ones"), one of the two main branches of the Goths (of which the Ostrogothi were the other), were one of the loosely-termed "Germanic peoples" that disturbed the late Roman Empire.
		After the "fall" of the western Roman Empire, the Visigoths continued to play a major role in western Europen affairs for another 250 years.
		From 291, sources call them Tervingi, and about a hundred years later, the term changes to Vesi.

		He allowed only the Tervingi Goths to settle not the Greuthungi who Valens had fought against almost a decade before and who had supplied troops to the ursuper Procopius in 365.
		Valens decreed that "once the Tervingi had crossed, they should be given food to supply thier present needs and land to cultivate for the following year." And he already began recruiting potential men for service as well.
		Originally around 80,000, (the Tervingi whom were allowed into Rome) were the only ones in, of this group only 15-20000 were fighting men and they had been disarmed.

	Goths, Sarmatians, and Huns
		The Goths who showed up at the Danube in 376 were composed of people from two tribes, the Tervingi and the Greuthungi, under separate leaders.
		The refugee Goths were not particularly welcome or well-treated by the Romans, and Ammianus says that they were starved and cheated by their hosts.
		They soon revolted, and while the Romans were busy dealing with the Tervingi, the Greuthungi forced their way across the Danube almost unopposed and later joined the Tervingi.

		After the "fall" of the western Roman Empire, the Visigoths continued to play a major role in western European affairs for another 250 years.
		Some time shortly after 291 Mamertinus makes a eulogy of Emperor Maximian (285-308), in which he says that Tervingi pars alia Gothorum ("Tervingi, another division of the Goths") joined with a band he calls the Taifali to attack the Vandals and Gepidae (Genethl.

	Total War Center Forums - Question on Latin pronounciation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		There's a passage in Ammianus Marcellinus where he refers to a Gothic subtribe, the Tervingi (as is the general scholastic consensus on transliteration) as "Teruingi."
		It was a bilingual edition (Latin/English) of "The Histories" by Marcellinus Ammianus, though I'd be damned if I could remember the author/publication date/publisher off the top of my head.
		The transliteration of "Tervingi" was corroborated in Herwig Wolfram's "History of the Goths" translated from the German.

		The Tervingi had no monarchic kingship; there was no thiudans among them.
		And if the example of the Tervingi was fairly common amongst the Germanic tribes there would have been no such system.
		Fortunately, we have other places to turn for evidence of a national council such as the witanagemót, and a tribal assembly or local assemblies interacting.

	At the Edge: A Pagan Gothic Ritual
		However, it was not the type of Christianity adopted by the Goths that resulted in their persecution.
		Athanaric, the iudex (a combination of judge, war-leader and over-chieftain) of the Tervingi, one of the main tribal groups, seems to have instigated the campaign.
		Exactly why he did so is unclear, but a previous wave of persecutions involving Athanaric (347-8) has been suggested as an attempt to rid the Goths’ ancestral religion - vital to their sense of ethnic identity - of corrupting influences, or perhaps to spite the Christian emperors of Rome.

		According to his account, in 376 Tervingi under Fritigern and Alaviv were allowed to cross the Danube into Roman territory and settle in Thrace.
		Lupicinus invited the mutually antagonistic Fritigern and Alaviv to a feast, but a quarrel ensued in which Roman soldiers killed the Gothic escorts of Fritigern and Alaviv.
		Fritigern escaped, but Alaviv's name is no longer mentioned by Ammianus; likewise the name Tervingi is longer mentioned, only Goths.

		It reappeared in the late fourth century in the form of the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths, referring to the Tervingi and the Greuthungi tribes respectively.
		It is tempting to postulate that Wielbark culture encompassed all small Eastern Germanic tribes such as the Gepids, Heruli, Tervingi, Greutungi and others, who later gave the names to larger ethno-political structures, known to the Roman world from the late fourth century onward.
		According to Tacitus "Beyond Lugii are Gothones, who are governed by kings". The use of the plural in the account supports the claim that the Goths were divided into small tribal units ruled by the chieftains.

		The Drevlyane are said to have received their name "because they lived in the woods," [467] and Tervingi is supposed to have the same meaning:—"forest man." [468]
		But whether there is more to it, whether the Acatziri actually lived in woods as their name supposedly indicates, is a question which neither dictionaries nor analogies but only the texts can answer.
		The interpretation of Drevlyane and Tervingi is anything but certain.

	Vivid - Romania through international eyes
		Debates still continue over whether the treasure dates from the 4th or from the 5th century but undoubtedly the hoard belonged to the Goths who lived in Dacia from the 3rd to the 5th century AD.
		Alexandru Odobescu, one of the pioneers of Romanian archaeology who published in the late 19th century a 650-page comparative work called Le Tresor de Petrossa (Paris, 1889-1900) believed it dated from the 4th century and belonged to Athanaric, leader of the Gothic Tervingi tribe.
		He believed that some of the pieces were forged in Byzantine workshops, but the Goths made the more ornamental items, having learned this technique from the Scythians and Sarmatians who had spread the technique across Europe, from Novocherkassk in south-east Russia to Pietroasa in Romania.
