Gothiscandza was according to the 6th century Goth scholar Jordanes, the first settlement of the Goths after their migration from Scandinavia (Scandza). Gothiscandza was located at the mouth of the Vistula, and they left it when they migrated to the steppes of the Ukraine. There is considerable archaeological evidence of Scandinavian influence in the area during the Nordic Bronze Age and the Pre-Roman Iron Age. In Scandinavian sources, the territory is called Reidgotaland, a name that followed the Goths during their migrations in the Norse sagas. |
