Marco CristiniPeace Treaty • September 21st, 2021
Abstract: The proposed peace treaty of 540 between Justinian and Vitiges ‒ ac- cording to most interpretations of Proc. Bell. Goth. 2.29.2 ‒ included a partition of Italy into two areas, one located south of the river Po and controlled by Jus- tinian and the other located north of the Po and controlled by the Goths. How- ever, a closer examination of Procopius’ wording and of similar passages indi- cates that Justinian aimed to receive only the tax revenues of southern and central Italy, with the provinces themselves remaining in the hands of the Goths.
