"The first news the Romans had of the Huns reached the Danube border garrisons sometime in the 370s C.E. Something violent was happening on the eastern edge of the Gothic territories, it was learned. Specifically, the Huns had begun to assault the Greuthungi, the eastern Goths then led by a king called Ermanaric (whose story you will remember from our instalment titled, Huns to the North. Romans to the South)."
