Theoderic: Imitation of an Emperor

by Ross Laidlaw

Overview

'While the army of the Goths makes war, the Romans may live in peace.'

AD 468. With the last Roman emperor of the West deposed, the Empire is in ruins - a plaything for the barbarian armies that rampage across it. This extraordinary story spans Europe, from the intrigues of Constantinople to the battlefields of the future France, North Africa and the Balkans, tracing the rise of Theoderic the Goth to a pinnacle of power and wealth.
