So they went directly from Scandinavia to Vistula to the Black Sea
and attacked Rome from there together with Gepids and Heruli on only
a few decades. That is good work I must say.
Then what about e g Tacitus then and Ptolemaios? Both wrong, or are
not dealing with any goths on the continent? Fine with me in that

Is Your position that Gotland in Strabos time was under the
Marcomanner Marbod? Then maybe the Marcomanner took part in the
exodus *to* Gotland. Interesting indeed!
