Description
"A Struggle for Rome, v. 3" by Felix Dahn is a historical novel written in 1876. This epic tale chronicles the fall of the Ostrogothic Kingdom as Theodoric the Great's successors battle to preserve his legacy against Emperor Justinian's Eastern Roman Empire. As Gothic kings—Witiges, Totila, and Teia—fight desperately to defend Italy, a cunning Roman prefect named Cethegus pursues his own scheme to reclaim the empire. With historian Procopius recording events and the fate of a kingdom hanging in balance, heroes face their doom with courage in this sweeping saga of civilization's clash.
