A sobering portrait of a much caricatured king, sensitive to the many resonances of his Roman and Gothic worlds. -Douglas Boin, author of Alaric the Goth So much more than biography, this masterly survey is a window into an entire world at a moment of extreme change, when the western Roman empire had fallen and the future was unwritten. An indispensable book. -Michael Kulikowski, author of The Tragedy of Empire: From Constantine to the Destruction of Roman Italy The English translation of Hans-Ulrich Wiemer's path-breaking study of Theoderic the Great is most welcome. This is a major, new view of Theoderic that shows his importance to Gothic and Roman worlds. John Noel Dillon's translation is excellent. -Michele Renee Salzman, author of The Falls of Rome This meticulously researched, lucidly written, and beautifully translated book goes in search of the nature and legacy of Theodoric's reign in Italy. Wiemer explores concepts of migration, tolerance, cultural segregation, and the twilight of empires. -Julia Hillner, author of Helena Augusta: Mother of the Empire An intellectual feast.
