Chapter The Imperial Image of Theoderic: the Case of the Regisole of Pavia
The contribution intends to retrace the history of Pavia’s famous equestrian statue, known as the “Regisole”, destroyed in 1796. The statue, in gilded bronze, represented a Roman emperor and was transferred from Rome to Ravenna, most likely by Theoderic.

Chapter The Creation of Two Ethnographic Identities: The Cases of the Ostrogo…

Chapter Epigraphic Stratigraphy: is There Any Trace of the Ostrogoths in Earl…
The short but significant experiment of the Ostrogothic Kingdom in Italy left politically ephemeral albeit culturally surprisingly durable traces in the peninsula. Among them, epigraphy takes centre stage when discussing decrees, laws, and public documents, which are a direct expression of the rulers’ will to gain greater visibility and disseminate their voice. However, epigraphy is also cruc…
