  5. Germanic Expansion Map

  6. The Goths • The ancient Goths were a barbarian Germanic tribe who terrorized Romans and were always on the move • They sacked many Roman cities • Then the name Gothic in the became an art style that was considered a poor style because Romans didn’t like Goths • In the 18th century, Gothic became a writing style that used elements of horror. • Now Gothic is a style of dressing using lots of black

  7. The Vandals • The Vandals were a Germanic tribe who also terrorized Romans • In 455, the Vandals raided and destroyed Rome • 100 years later, the Vandals were conquered by the Byzantine Empire.

  8. A Map With The Vandals and other Tribes

  9. Roman Affect • The Romans expanded a lot • They invaded some Germanic territory • In the Migration Era, most Germanics were on the move because of the Romans • Romans were more advanced and wealthy, so they won most conflicts • Romans also didn’t like the Germanic culture • The Vandals, a Germanic tribe, eventually brought the downfall of Rome.

  10. 4 Main Germanic Gods • Wodanaz • Punraz • Teiwaz • Nerbuz

  11. Equivilent of The Names In Other Languages • WodanazGreek= Hermes Norse= Odin • Punraz = Greek= Ares Norse= Tyr • Teiwaz=Roman= Jupiter Norse= Thor Nerbuz Norse= Njord, Roman= Terra

  12. God’s Abilities • Teiwaz was the same as Zeus. They have the same powers. Thor, has slightly different powers because in one myth, he brought a ram back from the dead. In the Greek, Zeus cant do that. • Wodanaz is the Norse equal of Odin, the king of the gods and god of poetry. But in Greek, Hermes is equal to Wodanaz, but Hermes isn't a king, or the god of poetry.

  13. More God’s Abilities • Punraz is equal to Ares in Greek, and Tyr in Norse. All of them are gods of war. • Nerbuz is equal to the Norse god Njord, and the Greek god Gaia. Njord is the god of strength, Gaia is the Earth. They all represent strength.
