Finally, the execution of senatorial hostages at Ravenna by Witigis in 537 ensured that at least some portion of the senatorial class would remain hostile to the memory of the Amals well after Justinian invested Ravenna with an eastern administration (5).Note: This page is for systems/browsers with Unicode ® support and fonts spanning the Unicode 3 character set relevant to An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary. Theodahad’s later installation of a Gothic garrison at Rome only served to exacerbate unresolved mistrust (4). 525) revealed the latent distrust that was operative between Rome and Ravenna. Theoderic’s earlier execution of Boethius and Symmachus (ca. Of more immediate concern for Cassiodorus and the bureaucratic elite of Ravenna was the fact that the Amals had made a point of favoring the municipal elite with public office and had carefully circumscribed the political advancement of the senatorial elite at Rome (3). The population of Italy was not unanimously celebratory in exchanging the Amal government for Justinian’s and, as the protracted course of the Gothic War made evident, the political sympathies of the population were frequently divided (2). Justinian’s preference for eastern administrators at Ravenna would not become a fait accompli until the publication of theĬonstitutio Pragmatica of 554, which neglected to make any provisions for members of the former palatine elite at Ravenna (1).įor the western bureaucracy, this intervening period of 540 to 554 was one of undecided possibilities. Contemporary observers, however, could not have anticipated the eclipse of the former bureaucratic elite at Ravenna that would occur during the course of the Gothic War in Italy. In hindsight, it is possible to view this event as but one of several stages in the political fragmentation of what would become medieval Italy. In 540 Belisarius and the eastern imperial soldiers under his command claimed control of Ravenna on behalf of the emperor Justinian, overthrowing the official seat of government of the Gothic Amals and commencing what would become over two centuries of eastern administration at the former capital of Italy. ![]()
