The foreign policy of Theoderic’s successors Foreign policy was one of the cornerstones of the Ostrogothic Kingdom, especially after the death of Theoderic the Great, when his successors had to face the Merovingian sovereigns and Justinian. The analysis of sixth-century international relations allows us to reconstruct the essential aspects of the foreign policy of Amalasuintha, Theodahad, Vitiges, Totila and Theia. The reign of Theoderic exerted a strong influence on their politics and led them to seek an agreement with Constantinople, which represented an essential factor of legitimacy. However, Frankish expansionism and the outbreak of the Gothic War undermined the system of alliances built by Theoderic. The conflict not only put an end to late antique Italy, but also sealed the failure of Totila’s political project, who was never able to portray himself as a legitimate sovereign in the absence of a peace treaty with the Empire.
