The Ostrogoths played a significant role in the fall of Rome by contributing to the fragmentation of the Western Roman Empire. After the decline of central authority, they invaded Italy under their king, Theodoric the Great, in the late 5th century. Their establishment of a kingdom in Italy represented a shift in power dynamics, as they filled the vacuum left by the weakening Roman rule, further exacerbating the empire's decline. This shift facilitated the rise of barbarian kingdoms and the eventual collapse of Roman authority in the West.

He thought he was protecting Catholics when he was driving the Ostrogoths out of Rome. The Battle of Rome was fought in 537AD.
