Franks, Goths and Other Germanics

I think Aetius father origins reffered more to the place of birth (Scythia Minor) then to his actual origin. Scythians was long gone by the time of Aetius, and his father was probably a romanized Getae (as those was the majority in Scythia Minor and i think this origin is mentioned by some authors) or Sarmatian, or even a local Roman (if we look at his name).
