EdITOR’S NOTE 
 
What does humanity gain from the study of history? The 
pursuit of understanding the past is a noble task, and the fruit of 
this is empathy. The historian must deliberately evaluate a period 
in search of both humanity’s dramatic actions as well as their quiet 
ones. In doing so, historians unearth stories and lives buried by the 
passage of time and insufficiency of living memory. We remember 
and dignify the lived experience of human beings who will never 
know that they are remembered. We seek to know their simple 
joys, hardships, and deeply held convictions. In addition, we 
evaluate the root of their values by understanding the world they 
lived in. These practices help the historian to arrive at the ultimate 
goal of history, to see through the eyes of those we study. 
Ultimately, we gain empathy for all individuals whether they 
remain in the historical record or whether they are lost to time. 
 
Tenor of Our Times is now in its fourteenth volume. We in 
the editorial board, as well as those who authored the works that 
comprise the volume, are thrilled to share the culmination of nearly 
a year’s worth of work. Within these articles, I hope that the reader 
may find instances in which Tenor proclaims empathy as its 
noblest goal. Above all, it is our hope on the editorial board that 
the reader may depart from this volume with new appreciation and 
empathy for the selections of humanity that our authors evaluated.

The first four centuries of the First Millennium AD witnessed the rapid development of political infrastructure among the Gothic people. Emerging from Scandinavia, Gothic group consolidated into more nuanced political confederations by the third century. Challenges to these power structures, both internal and external, became the catalyst for further consolidation. The adaptations of the third and fourth centuries resulted in the emergence of a more easily recognizable political unit: the Visigoths under a Balthi monarchy. These challenges, and forthcoming adaptations, places the Goths within the tradition of the Late Antique world. Late Antiquity, therefore, should not only be thought to be the transformation of the Classical World of Greco-Roman culture, but also the world of Barbaricum
