From Rome to Ravenna
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The Ostrogoths were unwilling to let Belisarius hold Rome uncontested, and so under the leadership of their king, Vittigis, they subjected the city to a long siege. For a year, 537–538, Belisarius and the Roman army endured a siege in Rome. Belisarius asked for and received reinforcements from Emperor Justinian (r. 527–565). Antonina, the wife of Belisarius, led a resupply convoy to Rome. The Romans broke the siege and then pursued the Ostrogoths from central into northern Italy. Belisarius and the Roman army captured Ravenna, former capital of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, in 540. To do so, Belisarius pretended that he would accept an imperial crown and rule over Italy himself. But this was only deceit, and by the end of the summer of 540 he was back in Constantinople, with the Ostrogothic King Vittigis his prisoner.
