A Struggle for Rome, v. 2
by Felix Dahn
Translated by Lily Wolffsohn
"A Struggle for Rome, v. 2" by Felix Dahn is a historical novel written in 1876. This epic tale chronicles the fall of the Ostrogothic Kingdom in Italy as Theodoric the Great's successors struggle to preserve his legacy against the Eastern Roman Empire's conquests under Justinian I. Through the reigns of multiple Gothic kings—aided by the faithful armorer Hildebrand—and opposed by both Byzantine forces and a scheming Roman prefect with his own ambitions, the novel dramatizes a doomed people's heroic resistance and ultimate defeat in their fight for Rome.
