<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7942574, member: 97383&quot;]Dirk, Thanks for your succinctly written post <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Modern day educators seem to look for easy answers to difficult &amp; complex questions &amp; end up &quot;missing the boat&quot;. The events you point out, especially the dramatic defeat of of the Roman army at the battle of Adrianople, in their totality caused the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Watts may not have &quot;hit the nail on the head&quot; in his article but deserves credit for at least pointing out how absurd the notion of Rome falling in AD 476 is. You have made a serious study of the Migration Period &amp; flow of barbarian tribes coming from the East, &amp; your previous posts along with your impressive collection of barbarian coinage testify to this <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Your photo of the Theodahat follis is indeed the most iconic example of barbarian coinage. It leaves a footprint on barbarian coinage that is unmatched stylistically by any other examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
