Abstract
This thesis examines the official policies pursued by the imperial government towards Gothic tribes under Theodosius I, both those within and without Roman borders, and attempts to identify the interaction between the Roman populace and the Gothic settlers within Roman borders. It also attempts to identify the general attitudes of certain groups within the empire – senatorial aristocrats, imperial officials, soldiers, civilians – towards the policies pursued by the imperial government. Special weight has been given to those sources that are contemporary with the period. Sources that postdate the period have been employed carefully, with thought given to their biases, indicating where the sack of Rome and the events of the fifth century came to color accounts of the fourth. Finally, much consideration has been given to how religious struggles in the fourth and fifth centuries affected both the accounts of the events and the events themselves.
