"Combining the latest archaeological findings with information from traditional literary sources, Thomas S. Burns presents the first modern portrait of the Ostrogoths from their initial contacts with the Roman world in the third century through the dissolution of their kingdom in Italy in 554. Placing the Ostrogoths in a European social and historical perspective, Burns begins his story in the centuries before the final invasions of Rome. He introduces the reader to early Ostrogothical tribal, pagan society, and reveals the interactions between these barbarians and the Roman Empire. He illuminates how Theodoric, the king of the Ostrogoths, devoted his reign to crafting a special place for his people and dynasty in a Roman-dominated world. Theodoric was adept at balancing these two cultures and initiated a program of controlled assimilation of Germans into Roman society. This flexibility and adaptability enabled Ostrogoths, particularly Theodoric the Great, to lead barbarian Europe for almost half a century and to shape the coming Middle Ags."
