What is a Visigoth?

The Visigoths (Western Goths) were one of two main branches of the Goths, an East Germanic tribe (the Ostrogoths being the other). Together these tribes were among the loosely-termed Germanic peoples who disturbed the late Roman Empire during the Migration Period.

Most famously, a Visigothic force led by Alaric I sacked Rome in 410.

After the collapse of the western Roman Empire, the Visigoths played a major role in western European affairs for another two and a half centuries.

I heard it in the movie 'Life is Beautiful' when Guido Orefice is talking with his son about making a 'No Spiders or Visigoths Allowed' sign.

It is a Germanic tribe of people employed by the Romans during the later military campaigns of the Empire before they wised up and attacked Rome instead of the other Goths and Huns....

They were a East Germanic tribe. They died out around the 4th or 5th century
