Sinopsis
Excerpt from Italy and Her Invaders, Vol. 5
I ought further to warn the general reader (whom as well as the trained historical student I always desire to find among my audience) that there are four chapters in the later of these two volumes, which I cannot expect him to endure with patience. They are the fifth, tenth and fourteenth, dealing with the Lombard Laws, and the thirteenth which describes the oficial machinery of the Exarchate of Ravenna. Perhaps also, if he have not a keen appetite for theo logical controversy, he will do well to leave unread the last chapter of the fifth volume which describes the Istrian schism, important as that schism was in its bearing on the early history of Venice.

Excerpt from Italy and Her Invaders, Vol. 5
I now offer to my readers the history of nearly two centuries, extending from the expulsion of the Goths from Italy to the death of the Lombard King Liutprand.
The period thus traversed is one for which our information is meagre and fragmentary, nor have we for any part of it such a lucid and copious narrative as was furnished for some portions of the earlier volumes by the histories of Ammianus and Procopius. The evident honesty of the national historian of the Lombards, Paulus Diaconus, and his willingness to share with us the picturesque Sagas of his people, endear him to our hearts: but we are forced to see that he leaves many gaps in his history.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of Italy during a turbulent period marked by the fall of the Ostrogothic kingdom and the arrival of a new power, the Lombards. The author takes us on a fascinating journey, weaving together the stories of powerful figures like the Eunuch Narses, who led the Byzantine forces, and the Alamannic brothers, Leuthar and Butilin, who saw an opportunity for conquest in the chaos. The book also explores the complexities of Frankish politics, revealing how the ambitious kings of Austrasia sought to expand their influence at the expense of the Byzantine Empire. Through meticulous research, the author illuminates the strategic importance of key cities like Cumae and Lucca, showcasing how the struggle for control over these fortifications shaped the fate of the Italian peninsula. The narrative explores the cultural clash between the Byzantine world and the emerging barbarian kingdoms, highlighting the unique blend of political intrigue, military prowess, and cultural exchange that characterized this era. The author's insightful analysis of the period offers a rich understanding of the forces that shaped the future of Italy, shedding light on the origins of the Lombard kingdom and its lasting impact on the region's history.
