Abstract
En estas líneas vamos a intentar recoger, analizar
y estudiar los distintos instrumentos que el
poder romano utilizó para acoger a los pueblos bárbaros
en general y a los godos en particular en su
propio territorio. Por ello, haremos un viaje desde
el incierto origen de los godos hasta sus primeros
contactos con Roma y su posterior inclusión en el
organigrama estatal romano. Para ello, criticaremos
determinadas fuentes literarias de este momento
histórico y obras historiográficas clásicas que tienen
una concepción bastante peyorativa de este fenómeno.
Todo esto servirá para mostrar de forma
sintetizada como Roma se valió de estos bárbaros y
estos no fueron la causa última de su caída sino un
recurso estatal para asegurar su supervivencia.
In the following lines we will try to gather, analyze and study the different instruments the Roman power utilized to embrace the barbarian peoples generally speaking and the Goths more specifically in their own territories. This is why we will go all the way through the history, from the uncertain origin of the Goths to their first contact with Rome and their later integration into the Roman state organization. In order to do so, we will evaluate different literary sources from this historical period and certain classical historiographical literary works that have quite a derogatory perception of this phenomenon. All of it will illustrate in a synthesized way how Rome used these barbarian peoples and they were not the last reason for its decline, but a valuable state resource to assure its survival.
