The Ostrogothic Kingdom is a playable faction featured in The Last Roman Campaign Pack for Total War: Attila.
Description[]
The Ostrogothic Kingdom has succeeded where the Romans failed. The Battle of Ravenna in AD476 - Rome's final humiliation - signalled the ignoble end of its Western Empire. In its place was the Kingdom of Italy, helmed by the victorious Germanic general, Flavius Odoacer. By AD493 the Ostrogothic king, Theoderic the Great, backed by the Eastern Romans, murdered Odoacer at a banquet and assumed control of the region. Although his rule was benevolent, Theoderic's death in AD526 destabilised his kingdom, as his grandson - still a child - ascended to the throne. Now, the murder of the young king's pre-Roman mother has given Emperor Justinian the 'casus belli' he needs to reconquer Italy and reclaim the ancient seat of Imperial power. So, the future of the Ostrogoths remains uncertain - but no Roman will wrest this hard-won land from their iron grasp without a fight!
