Two Germanic peoples--the eastern Ostrogoths & the western Visigoths--erupted & vanquished the imperial mercenaries in 378, killing the Emperor.

This very readable comprehensive study of the various tribes, their cultures & their place in history places the violence & tumult into logical perspective.
