Theoderich der Große (um 453-526) gehört zu den faszinierendsten Herrschergestalten der Völkerwanderungszeit. Wie kein anderer Germanenkönig beeindruckte und polarisierte der Ostgote seine Mit- und Nachwelt. Die Urteile schwanken zwischen Verklärung als idealer Herrscher und Verdammung als Tyrann und häretischer Verfolger. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht erstmals systematisch und übergreifend das vielgestaltige Bild Theoderichs in der byzantinischen und westlichen Überlieferung von den zeitgenössischen Anfängen bis ins 9. Jahrhundert. Behandelt werden nicht nur literarische Zeugnisse, sondern aussagekräftige Quellen wie Inschriften, Münzen oder der Umgang mit Bildwerken und Bauten des Ostgotenkönigs finden ebenfalls Berücksichtigung. Andreas Goltz ordnet die zeitlich und regional höchst unterschiedlichen Darstellungen und Bewertungen Theoderichs in ihren gattungsspezifischen, überlieferungsgeschichtlichen und zeithistorischen Kontext ein, analysiert die Motive und Hintergründe für die verschiedenartigen Sichtweisen auf den Ostgotenkönig und trägt auf diese Weise maßgeblich zum Verständnis Theoderichs, seiner Zeit und seiner Wirkungsgeschichte bei.

Cassiodorus-famed throughout history as one of the great Christian exegetes of antiquity-spent most of his life as a high-ranking public official under the Ostrogothic King Theoderic and his heirs. He produced the Variae, a unique letter collection that gave witness to the sixth-century Mediterranean, as late antiquity gave way to the early middle ages. The Variae represents thirty years of Cassiodorus's work in civil, legal, and financial administration, revealing his interactions with emperors and kings, bishops and military commanders, private citizens, and even criminals. Thus, the Variae remains among the most important sources for the history of this pivotal period and is an indispensable resource for understanding political and diplomatic culture, economic and legal structure, intellectual heritage, urban landscapes, religious worldview, and the evolution of social relations at all levels of society during the twilight of the late-Roman state. This is the first full translation of this masterwork into English.
