My God, if we don't leap up to condemn it, the Dark Ages are here again and the Goths, Visigoths and Vandals will run riot. |
Following the decline of the Romans, the Vandals, Visigoths, and Byzantine Greeks successively set up their own empires. |
This happened in Spain under the Visigoths and in Italy under the Ostrogoths, but both those kingdoms were swept away. |
Later, with the fall of the empire, it was settled by Germanic Visigoths, then Arabs and Moors. |
Romans, Vandals, Visigoths, and Byzantine Greeks successively ruled the area. |
In antiquity Gibraltar belonged in turn to the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, and Visigoths. |
