Yeah I was just looking at something like that on another site..
” The invasion of Hispania (as the Iberian peninsula —including Portugal— was then known) was not a single event carried out by a unified group, but a series of migrations by different tribes —Sueves, Vandals, Alani, Visigoths etc. The Sueves, Vandals and Alani crossed the Pyrenees in 409, the Sueves establishing themselves in the north west, the Vandals in the south and the Alani in Lusitania”

BTI (before the internet) I used to have an Atlas of World History or two... maps on one page, history on the other... I could get lost in those pages for hours, as bad as following links on the internet. Lots of European tribes and migrations.
We’ve run through quite a few World Atlases: my sons will pore over them for hours, memorizing cities and rivers and population data. #3 Son, who is weird even compared to his brothers, had a meltdown when he learned his atlas was out of date and Yugoslavia had split up.
I wish we knew more about all those people: the Sueves, Vandals, Alani, et al. They all had great rules, crappy rules, femmes fatales, mass murders of the royal family, all that epic stuff. I have a lectures series on “Nomadic Empires of the Steppes” that I’ll never understand unless I sit down with the notebooks and the atlas, because there are so many tribal and person names that are novel, even after a lifetime of history study.
