If the Wisigoths who overran Italy under Alaric left no political monument of their presence after their . Withdrawal under Athaulf in 412, it can hardly be ex- pected that there are many traces of that Arian . Church of which they were in some sense the representatives. They suffered doubly at the bauds of the. Historians, — as barbarians and as heretics. While nothino- too scornful could be said of them as barbarians, nothing was too harsh to say of the heretics. What might have' been to thei...r credit as Christians is ascribed to their childishness and inexperience as barbarians ; what stains their name with violence and bloodshed as barbarians is attributed to their wickedness and perversity as heretics. We are asked to believe that many acts of clemency, many withdrawals from a doomed city, Avere due to the effect on the barbarian mind of the gorgeous pomp and solemnity of a religious procession. But the Wisigoths were not children, wild and untutored savages fresh from the forests of central Europe.
