King Vitiges of the #Ostrogoths began a siege of #Rome on 2 March AD537. This was the 1st siege during the Gothic War (537-538). Even though Vitiges' army was much larger, Rome was successfully defended by the Eastern Roman general Belisarius, who would eventually break the siege 374 days later.

I finally got to see this brooch at the National-Germanisches Museum in Nürnberg today. And many more amazing things. #archaeology #medieval #Ostrogoths
