A fact from Radagaisus appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 6 November 2007. The text of the entry was as follows: "Did you know

...that the Gothic king Radagaisus abandoned his forces and tried escaping after a counterattack by the Roman army in 406?"

There's a bit more from Zosimus (via Heather) about the fate of Radagaisus's fighters and other followers, which I will add later. Real life demands my attention for the moment... Dppowell 18:23, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Pagan"?

It seems that in almost every article about leaders of the Goths, or Vandals, or Huns, or whoever -- including this one -- the first thing said about the subject is that he was a "pagan." For the earlier leaders, especially, this is irrelevant. In fact, it seems non-NPOV in a "rah, rah, for Christians" sense. --Michael K. Smith (talk) 05:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know, Radagaisus was one of the last—perhaps the very last—Gothic leader specifically described as a pagan by contemporaries. So it would be very relevant to anyone interested in the religious history of the Goths. —benadhem (talk) 21:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
