  • Summary

    After the Gothic wars, significant areas of the Italian peninsula were taken by the newly arrived Lombards. Chapter 5 discusses how convincing Lombard leaders, vacillating between Nicene and Christian Christianity, to embrace one of the available versions of the Christian faith became the goal of the representatives of various sides and how the Lombard religious ambiguity created a special environment in which different doctrines could coexist and compete.

  • Summary

    Chapter 4 deals with Nicene–Homoian conversions in Italy under Ostrogothic rule. First it discusses the religious history of the Goths from the fall of the Hunnic empire to their triumph in the war with Odoacer, allowing us to better understand the nature of Gothic Homoianism in Italy and its relationship with the Nicene church. Then it examines conversions under Amal rule and the role of tolerance in their politics and ideology, and finally conversions between the Nicene and Homoian faith in the period of the Gothic War (535–54) and its aftermath.
