Ammianus Marcellinus tells a great story about the battle at The Willows: the Romans raised their voices in a horrific "barritus," and then the Goths answered with song to their ancestors. In this case, which may be the whole case with this topic, we have no idea who the "Romans" were-- probably mostly Germans! :lol:
