FASTI ROMANI ROME AND CONSTANTINOPLE

A.D. 1 CONSULS 2 EVENTS
Antonina obtains from Justinian the recall of her husband: Procop. Goth. III p.536
B and this was achieved easily. Because the war with the Medes (Persians was
already imminent, king Justinian was strongly engaged on it.
Plot against Justinian: Procop. Goth. III. 31 p. 536 C-541 A. while Belisarius was
on his way through Illyrium to CP. p.539 D because it was announce (became
known) that he was somewhere Illyria. Conf. p. 541 C.
Return of Belisarius: s Procop. Goth.III.35 p.548 A However, Belisarius did not
meet with anyone from Byzantium, and he never went to Italy for five years
[A.D.544-548], and he was not nowhere on the way (to Italy) but he all this time he
was hiding like a fugitive (on rout). Idem. Anecd. c.5. p.15 D the second time he
came to Italy, released himself from here shamefully; because, the (the initial
plan) staying for five years in Italy was not realized, as I was told previously. He
might arrive at CP. at the close of 548.
Marius: P.C. basilii anno VII Ind. XI. Eo anno Theudebertus rex magnus
Francorum obiit, et sedit in regno ejus Theudabaldus filius ipsius. Eo anno
Lanthacaricus dux Francorum in bello Romano transfossus obiit. The time of the
death of Theudebert is thus determined by Greg. Tur. H.Fr.III.37. IV.52. A trnsmitu
Chloro vechi Regis usque ad transitum Theudeberti anni XXXVII.a transitu
Theudeberti usque ad exitum Sigiberti anni XXIX. Both these numbers are repeated
by Fredegarius Ept. P.576. But 37+29 are 66 years, and the actual space was only 64.
On which account Du Chesne as quoted by Pagi tom.2 p.604 reads 28 for 29. s Pagi
himself retains both numbers, understands them of current years, rejects the account
of Marius, and places the death of Theudebert at A.D 547: “Gregorius
Theudebebertum demortumm manisfestissime indicat quando a transitu Theudeberti
usque ad exitum Sigiberti supputantur anni 29. Sigiberti autem obitus, ut nunc
convenit, cadit in a.547.anni igitur illi 37 in lib.III.37 incompleti intelligendi.” He
repeats this at p.662. But as Clovis died in Nov.511 the 37 th year did notcommence
til Nov.547. Wherefore the death of Theudebert (in the 37 th year current) could not
happen till the very end of 547, within the 11 th indiction, where Marius places it.
And, as from thence to the close of 575 are 28 years and no more, the 29 th year could
not be current at the death of Sigibert, and Du Chesne with very good reason
proposes in that period XXVIII years for XXIX. Procopius Goth. IV.24 p.634 D
mentions the death of Theudebert: Theudebert, the leader of Franks not long before
[not long before A.D.551]he disappeared from the human race (passed away) from
a disease, some villages of Liguria and Coutias (Carnian?) and Venetian Alps,
which he conquered and imposed taxes without pity-and Theudibalt succeeded in
the hegemony. A strange account of his death is givem by Agathias I.4 p.15.

Ilauph- a body guard of Belisarius named Ilauph, a barbarian, tameless and
active-joins Totilas and is successful for the Goths in Dalmatia; and the winter ended
and the 14 th year of the war: Procop.Goth. III.35 p.550 AB. March 549.
Second capture of Rome by Totilas: Procop. Goth.III.36 p.550 C 551 C. betrayed
by the Isaurians: p.551 D after the betraying Isaurians remained the only garrison
(guarding the place) he opened up the gates by their authority and they accepted
the enemies in the city. To this econd capture Liber pontiff. Apud Acta Concil.
tom.5 p.1287 refers: Badiula qui Totila nuncapabatur-quadam die intravit Romam a
porta sancti Pauli [Procop. Goth.III p.551 C of the gate known as the gate of
apostle Paul] indictin=one XIII a . The 13 th indiction began Sept.! A.D. 549 in the
15 th year of the war. This second capture is described by Paulus Dias.
