[gothic-l] Re: Odoacer or Theoderic shared out land in equal parts to their soldiers?

[nilen at ONLINE.NO]

Hi Francisco

West Roman kings Odoacer and Theoderic did rule over the rest of the 
west Roman Empire around year 500.  Odoacer was king over the Sciri, 
and also the selected Herulian king, he ruled over Italy from 476 to 
around 490 and preferred to call himself "Rex Herulorum".  

Theoderic was king over the East-Goth, and he ruled in Italy from 493 
to 526, they both ruled from the town Ravenna.  West Roman was maybe 
a wrong word; "the remaining rest of the west Roman Empire" is maybe 
the correct name.

Kind regards
                  Frank
