Yeah, it was featured over at Vice. It was...'decent'. Although, James isn't really the guy I would wanna see directing such a piece. It seemed to me like a 'calling out' to potential directors though.

What about HBO's 'Rome', or BBC's 'I, Claudius' (yeah, I realize that it was based off of the novel)?

This is pretty much what I wanted. Responses like this. Thank you for not being 'Le Master Troll'. The whole aspect of city-states is that said clans would eventually evolve over time. Said novels will pretty much be consider 'Dark Fantasy', only difference is that the aspect of 'magic' will be stripped. A narrative which will pretty much follow fictional clans.

I suppose the fault is my own as to how I worded this whole thing.

>Migration and expansion is a huge part (Issues that would arise, diseases that were life-threatening during said period, especially in the region of Germania). Political situation of said clans, preferably the steps as to how a clan is formed to begin with. Food, the 'fashion' of said people, phrases and how they spoke, etc.

So far we're looking at getting our hands on Getica. If you have any recommendations it would be much appreciated. Most folks are assuming that we're constructing a semi-fictional account of the Goths, we're not. The Goths are an inspiration for said work.

It's stated why if you bother to read through the whole thing.

Okay folks, I require some assistance. I, and a number of other individuals, are constructing a series of short novels which will describe the rise and eventual desolation of a handful of clans/city-states.
We have spent a number of years going over ideas. Years of reading all 'em 'classical' novels which pertain to our period (510BCE and on-wards). Years of going over possible geographies, and marking specific expansions of said clans/city-states within said geography. Years of constructing time-lines and making sure we stamp out possible plot-holes. Albeit, we remain in the early stages yet, merely collecting as much info as possible. We wish for these works to detail said period, and events as realistically as possible. This has been posted in numerous boards which pertain to said topic and whatnot. Anyhow: Said tale will follow a Gothic/Visigothic/Ostrogothic-like handful. Migration and expansion is a huge part (Issues that would arise, diseases that were life-threatening during said period, especially in the region of Germania). Political situation of said clans, preferably the steps as to how a clan is formed to begin with. Food, the 'fashion' of said people, phrases and how they spoke, etc. I will try to answer as many questions as possible. Thank you for your help.

Welcome to history. Most of it is lies and embellishments.

I was once a Communist. After a while, I began to realize that -- in the ideal world -- it would be best to live in a society lacking some big brother-like governmental body or handful of 'powerful' men. Alas, as I've aged, I've realized that politics in general are pointless, and I would much rather live in a state of political apathy.
