Question
One siege carried out by these people was defeated when their enemy managed to set up floating mills to provide bread to the besieged city. A king of these people was compared to Croesus of Lydia by Procopius in his recounting of their overtures to the Sassanids. The head of these people’s final leader Teia was paraded around as a trophy following their defeat at Mons Lactarius. These people were initially led by (*) Vitiges (“vi-tti-GEEZ”) in a war triggered by the murder of their queen Amalasuntha whilst bathing. A king of these people named Totila was mortally wounded after charging his enemy’s crescent formation in the Battle of Taginae during a campaign to subjugate them under Narses. Belisarius briefly recaptured Rome from these people’s kingdom, which was established by Theodoric the Great. For 10 points, name these Germanic people who controlled much of Italy after splitting from the Visigoths. ■END■
