   The Visigoths were one of the two main branches of the Goths, the Ostrogoth's being the other. Together these tribes were among the Germanic people who spread through the late Roman Empire during the Migration Period. The Romanized Visigoths first emerged as a distinct people during the 4th century, initially in the Balkans, where they participated in several wars with Rome. A visigothic army under Alaric I eventually moved into Italy and famously sacked Rome in 410.
