message: Jordanes wrote Getica. The Roman Empire, capital Constantinople, is shown in pink. Conquests of Justinian shown in green.]]
Iordanis, known in English as Jordanes (also Jordanis or even Iornandes, 'bold as a boar'), was a 6th century bureaucrat of the Eastern Roman Empire,"If Jordanes was a bishop (as is frequently assumed) and if he lived in Italy (also frequently assumed), those elements of his background have left no trace in his two histories" (Brian Croke, "Cassiodorus and the Getica of Jordanes" Classical Philology 82.2 [April 1987, pp. 117-134] p 119.). who turned his hand to history late in life.
Though he wrote a history of Rome (his Romana), the book most of interest to us now is De origine actibusque Getarum (The Origin and Deeds of the Goths), or Getica, written in LatinTheodor Mommsen, (MGH: AA 5.1:vi) observed many forms of grammar and orthography that revealed a translation into Greek from a Latin original. (probably Jordanes' third language) at Constantinople"Constantinople is "our city" (Getica 38). about 551 CE.He mentions the great plague of 546 as having occurred "nine years ago" (Getica 104.)

This romana do not looks like 15 century old babay :)). by the way this nonsense is all the time repeated, but factual quotes are sweaped undr carpet. The Jordanes is a Mommsen crap, literary book designed to buster his poolitical goal and big anemity of weaked man.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.169.148 (talk • contribs) 10:13, 25 April, 2007 (UTC)

message: The Vigilius that Jordanes wrote his Romana for is unknown. Other than the not uncommon name and contemperineity, there is nothing supporting the identification with pope Vigilius. In fact, scholars agree that it would have been highly improper for Jordanes to adress a pope the way he addresses Vigilius, even admonishing him to "turn to God" (see Arne Søby Christensen's book about Jordanes). /Pieter Kuiper 10:28, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a controversy about Getica because the described deeds belong to Getae (a Getic population in Carpathian area)and not to Goths. Because of Jordanes confusion between Getae and Goths, large parts of Getic and Dacian history were introduced in the history of some germanic populations (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getae). Some historic events in germanic histories are distorted following this confusion. Caracalla (in 214) received Geticus Maximus and Quasi Gothicus titles following battles with getae and goths. Also Belizarius received Geticus title after battles against getic tribes and not against goths (Christensen, A. S., Cassiodorus, Jordanes, and the History of the Goths. Studies in a Migration Myth, 2002, Dissertation, )
