HERULI, The.
The Heruli were a people closely associated with the Goths in
their history and undoubtedly akin to them in blood. The great
piratical expedition of A. D. 267 from the Crimea, which
struck Athens, was made up of Herules as well as Goths. The
Heruli passed with the Goths under the yoke of the Huns. After
the breaking up of the empire of Attila, they were found
occupying the region of modern Hungary which is between the
Carpathians, the upper Theiss, and the Danube. The Herules
were numerous among the barbarian auxiliaries of the Roman
army in the last days of the empire.
