Summary/Abstract: Year 376, autumn: After defeating the kingdom of the Ostrogoths in the previous year, the Huns attack the territories west of the Dniester, under the political-military control of the Visigoths. Despite the resistance put up by the troops of judex Athanaric, the Visigoths are overhelmed by the Huns and an impressive number of them - 200,000, according to the sources - hastily take refuge on the right bank of the Danube, where they will cause the first European refugee crisis recorded in history. Relatively well known in its essential data, however, event history is of less interest to us here, our analysis going to emphasize the background ethno-linguistic equation, as critical analysis of the sources reveals.
