This book explores the evolution of Roman law and society in Italy from 493, with the proclamation of the Ostrogoth Theoderic the Great as king, until about 554, when the eastern Emperor Justinian was able to re-establish imperial authority in the region. Drawing upon evidence from a variety of legal and historical sources, it investigates how Theoderic and his successors attempted to govern the peninsula in the wake of foreign invasions, the collapse of civic administration, the break-up of the Mediterranean economy, and the emergence of new forms of religious and secular authority. It challenges long-held assumptions as to just how peaceful, prosperous and Roman-like Theoderic's Italy really was. Its primary focus is the Edictum Theoderici, a significant but largely overlooked document that offers valuable historical insights into the complex and sometimes contested social, political and religious changes that marked Italy's passage from Antiquity into the Middle Ages.

Im August 2010 jährte sich zum 1600. Mal die Plünderung Roms durch den Gothen Alarich. Dieses Ereignis wurde von Paganen und Christen gleichermassen zu einem Weltereignis stilisiert und fand ein vielfältiges Echo in zeitgenössischer und späterer Literatur. Dieser Sammelband analysiert die Bewertung dieses Falls Roms aus textwissenschaftlicher, historischer und theologischer Perspektive interdisziplinär bis ins hohe Mittelalter, unter Berücksichtigung des Rückblicks der späteren Byzantiner sowie ausgewählter Reaktionen der lateinischen und volkssprachigen Literatur im Westen. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass viele Kulturträger in ein "Netzwerk" integriert waren, sei es Rom bejahend oder auch in skeptischer bis ablehnender Distanz. Diese unaufgelöste Spannung führte dazu, dass die "Katastrophe" von 410, obgleich historisch von relativ geringer Bedeutung, enorme literarische Kräfte mit dem Ziel der mentalen Identitätsbestimmung freisetzte.
