Examples
“Theodoric died in 526, and within ten years from his death the struggle began which ended in the destruction of his work, the overthrow of the Ostrogothic kingdom.”
“1984, Thomas S. Burns, A History of the Ostrogoths, Indiana University Press, 1991, Midland Books, page 202, Indeed, the success of his government, and that of the Ostrogothic Kingdom as a whole depended upon the fair-minded juxtaposition of personnel and functions into an overlapping system.”
“The Ostrogothic kingdom under Theodoric is unique for its creation and deployment of royal imagines in ways closely comparable with the practice and purpose of the contemporary Empire; but culturally Ostrogothic Italy was still an Imperial province.”
