Answer: Visigoth

Explanation: Visigoth was the name given to the western tribes of Goth. The Visigoths mounted a successful invasion of the Roman Empire, beginning in 376, and ultimately defeated them within the Battle of Adrianople in 378 A. D. The Visigoths were an early Germanic folks that in conjunction with the Ostrogoths (those within the east) constituted the 2 major branches of the Goths. These tribes prospered and spread throughout the late Roman Empire in Late Antiquity, due to the Migration Period.
