  I have read a little about this and the only offical explanation we have for all those "barbarians" running into the Roman Empire for the East was that they were looking for good grazing land for the cattle. Has anybody got any other theories?
  
  I have heard of 2 others one was the rise of China pushing the peoples out like a domino effect into Rome across the Asian continent?
  
  The other was bizarre as its mainly mystical with references to a goup of mountins in the urals and how the tribes come from there.
  
  Is this rubbish?

  I think the theory which is most excepted by historians regarding barbarian migrations in Europe is that they were under constant pressure from eastern tribes. As the eastern tribes kept moving further west, the tribes that resided there had to move further west. As their land was taken, they resorted to searching for new lands to settle. This is the period in which barbarians started to come in greater conflict with the Romans. This was really the beginning of the end for Rome, and the premature stage of the formation of medievil Europe.
