Which invaders of the roman empire came from the farthest eastern point?
The Persians took Armenia and reconquered central and southern
Iraq from the Romans. The Huns who were from central Asia attacked
the Empire, but did not invade it. The Visigoths and Ostrogoths
came from Ukraine, but were allowed to settle in the Roman Empire.
Therefore, the easternmost European people who invaded the empire
were the Alans, an Iranian-speaking people original from Ukraine
who had been pushed into central Europe by the Huns and invaded
Gaul in 406 together with three Germanic peoples who also had been
pushed into central Europe by the Huns, the Vandals (they were
originally from eastern Poland and Belarus) Sueves (the were
originally from eastern Germany and western Poland) Burgundians
(they were originally from southern Poland
