- The Ostrogoths (often problematically denoted "Eastern Goths", as opposed to "West Goths", Visigoths) were a Germanic tribe that influenced the political events of the late Roman Empire. They were originally called the Greutungi (probably Hill fort people, see Scandza), but this was soon replaced by Ostrogothi. The meaning of ostro- (from austro-) is presumably "shiny". The Ostrogoths (who fought together with Attila) were beaten in 451 A.D. by Aetius and the Visigoths in the battle of the Catalaunian Fields.
