Painting a picture of an unlikely king whose reign helped spell the end of Ostrogothic Italy, Vitiello's book not only illuminates Theodahad's own life but also offers new insight into the sixth-century Mediterranean world.

In this book, Massimiliano Vitiello situates the life and career of the Ostrogothic queen Amalasuintha (c. 494/5-535), daughter of Theoderic the Great, in the context of the transitional time, after the fall of Rome, during which new dynastic regimes were experimenting with various forms of political legitimation. A member of the Gothic elite raised in the Romanized palace of Ravenna, Amalasuintha married her father's chosen successor and was set to become a traditional Gothic queen-a helpmate and advisor to her husband, the Visigothic prince Eutharic-with no formal political role of her own. But her early widowhood and the subsequent death of her father threw her into a position unprecedented in the Gothic world: a regent mother who assumed control of the government.0During her regency, Amalasuintha clashed with a conservative Gothic aristocracy who resisted her leadership, garnered support among her Roman and pro-Roman subjects, defended Italy from the ambitions of other kings, and negotiated the expansionistic designs of Justinian and Theodora. When her son died unexpectedly at a young age, she undertook her most dangerous political enterprise: forming an unmarried coregency with her cousin, Theodahad, whom she raised to the throne. His final betrayal would cost Amalasuintha her rule and her life.0Vitiello argues that Amalasuintha's story reveals a key phase in the transformation of queenship in late antiquity and the early Middle Ages, a time in which royal women slowly began exercising political power. Assessing the ancient sources for Amalasuintha's biography, Cassiodorus, Procopius, Gregory of Tours, and Jordanes, Vitiello demonstrates the ways in which her life and public image show the influence of late Roman and Byzantine imperial models on the formation of female political power in the post-Roman world.

L'Anonyme de Valois consiste en la réunion de deux séries d'extraits d'œuvres historiques. La première série contient une biographie de Constantin (Origo Constantini imperatoris). La seconde (Anonyme de Valois II), objet de la présente édition, traite de l'histoire de l'Italie durant la période 474-526. Pour plus de clarté, les éditeurs ont ajouté un sous-titre : L'Italie sous Odoacre et Théodoric. Après le récit de la fin de l'Empire d'Occident, du règne d'Odoacre et de la guerre ayant opposé ce dernier à Théodoric, l'Anonyme de Valois II consacre l'essentiel de ses développements au règne du roi goth. À une longue période de paix et de prospérité (493-523) il oppose les trois dernières années tragiques du règne (523-526). Parmi les sources disponibles sur cette période de l'histoire de l'Italie, l'Anonyme est la plus complète. Il contient par exemple les informations les plus précises sur la déposition de Romulus Augustule, la visite de Théodoric à Rome en 500, le procès et la mort de Boèce. Le texte est entrecoupé par le récit d'événements survenus dans l'Empire d'Orient. Il est composé à partir de sources latines, mais aussi grecques, du 6e siècle, qui sont en grande partie perdues. Il est écrit dans une langue éloignée du latin classique, et est souvent d'interprétation difficile.Dans l'introduction, la question des sources est très largement traitée. Les éditeurs estiment que l'Anonyme est une collection d'extraits d'une œuvre unique utilisant des sources diverses (Consularia Italica, Cassiodore, auteurs grecs). Ils pensent, arguments à l'appui, qu'il pourrait s'agir des Chroniques perdues de l'archevêque de Ravenne Maximien (546/7-556), un proche de Justinien. Le commentaire est suivi par cinq annexes. L'une d'entre elles contient un texte inédit de Giovanni de Matociis (début du 14e siècle) sur le procès et la mort de Boèce
