August 554 CE

The Goths, deprived of their leader and riven by internal feuds, capitulate to Narses’s forces in Rome and elsewhere, enabling Justinian to regain control of the Italian peninsula and its island dependencies by 554 and administer peninsular Italy, from its capital of Ravenna, as a division of the empire.

Narses garrisons in Italy an army of sixteen thousand men.

The recovery of the Italian Peninsula has cost the empire about three hundred thousand pounds of gold.

Justinian hopes to restore the social and economic well being of Italy by a series of measures, the Pragmatic Sanction of 554, but the country is so ravaged by war that any return to normal life will prove impossible during Justinian's lifetime.

The emperor Justinian rewards Liberius for his long and distinguished service in the Pragmatic Sanction, granting him extensive estates in Italy.
