"A mixed infantry formation made up of about 3,000 men armed with pikes, swords and handguns, the innovative and influential tercio or 'Spanish square' was the basic combat unit of the armies of Spain throughout much of the 16th and 17th centuries. Arguably the first permanent tactical formation seen in Europe since the Roman cohort, the tercio was the forerunner of modern formations such as the battalion and regiment. The variety of different weapons fielded in the tercio meant the Spanish infantry could resist opposing cavalry forces while overcoming every kind of enemy infantry deployed against them. Featuring full-colour artwork and photographs of rare items held at the Spanish Army Museum, this study covers the whole period during which the tercios were active, opening with the third Italian war between the forces of France and the Holy Roman Emperor and concluding with the final transformation of the Spanish tercios into regiments in 1704." --Publisher description

Au cours de leurs migrations jusqu’à la Mer Noire, les Goths sont vainqueurs de peuples divers, parmi lesquels les Huns, qui avaient ravagé de vastes zones de l’Orient byzantin et de l’Empire romain d’Occident. Les Wisigoths, dans la bataille des Champs Catalauniques (451), sont des alliés décisifs des Romains contre Attila, qui, après la dévastation de la Lombardie, se laisse persuader par le pape Léon le Grand de se retirer sur ses terres. À sa mort les Ostrogoths, auparavant ses vassaux, occupent une bonne partie de la Pannonie, puis, sous la conduite de Théodoric, entrent en Italie où ils sont victorieux d’Odoacre. Théodoric est un souverain efficace qui, grâce à une stratégie politique et militaire avisée, fait aussi sentir son autorité hors de l’Italie, en Espagne wisigothique et en Gaule. Sa fille Amalasonte épouse son cousin Théodat, qui la fait ensuite assassiner, ce qui entraîne l’attaque des troupes byzantines, victorieuses des Vandales d’Afrique : le général Bélisaire fait prisonnier à Ravenne celui que Jordanès semble considérer comme le dernier roi légitime des Goths d’Italie, Witigès, époux de Mathesuentha, la fille d’Amalasonte. Le couple royal est emmené avec ses richesses à Constantinople, où, après la mort de Witigès, Justinien fait épouser Mathesuentha par son cousin Germanus. Celui-ci étant mort peu de mois après, Mathesuentha donne naissance à un fils, lui aussi nommé Germanus, en qui Jordanès semble voir le futur héritier légitime du royaume goth d’Italie, arrière-petit-fils de Théodoric et apprécié du Sénat romain en tant que descendant de l’illustre famille sénatoriale des Anicii, à laquelle était apparenté l’empereur Justinien. Celui-ci, à la fin des Getica, est explicitement loué par Jordanès, préoccupé de suggérer une solution politique de la guerre avec les Goths, qu’il considère comme les seuls défenseurs possibles de l’Italie contre d’éventuels envahisseurs comme, par la suite, les Lombards en 568.
