Theodoric the Great: Life and Tomb
In 526 CE, the body of a king was laid to rest beneath a 300-ton stone dome—an engineering marvel that defied time. This is the story of Theodoric the Great: a Gothic warrior raised in the Eastern Roman Empire, who rose from hostage to ruler, blending Roman law with Gothic tradition. From his dramatic conquest of Italy to his legendary mausoleum in Ravenna, Theodoric’s reign shaped late antiquity—and his legacy endures in stone.

Join us as we explore his journey from Constantinople to Italy, his complex religious policies, the execution of Boethius, and the architectural mystery of his tomb—one of the most impressive monuments of the post-Roman world.
