GEOGRAPHY OF ITALY IN THE LOMBARD PERIOD, AND CHRONOLOGY OF THE LOMBARD CONQUEST — (P. 14)
The following table will explain the divisions of Italy between the Empire and the Lombards about 600. Italy in 600| IMPERIAL. — | (1) | North: — Maritime Liguria; Cremona, Placentia, Vulturina, Mantua, Mons Silicis, Patavium, Brixellum; Venetian Coast; Concordia, Opitergium, Altinum (Mutina, Parma, Rhegium?); Ravenna and the Aemilia; Pentapolis ( = Ariminum, Pisaurum, Fanum, Senegallia, Ancona); the inland Pentapolis (Aesis, Forum Semproni, Urbinum, Callis, Eugubium); Auximum. | | (2) | Central: — Picenum (coastland south of Ancona, including Firmum, Castrum Truentinum, Castrum Novum); Ortona (farther south on Adriatic coast), Perusia; Rome and the ducatus Romae, from Urbs Vetus (Orvieto) in north to Gaieta and Formiae in south. | | (3) | South: — Part of Campania (including Naples, Salernum, Amalphi, Surrentum, Castrum Cumanum, Puteoli), farther south, Acropolis and Paestum; Bruttii, Calabria; Barium; Sipontum. | | (4) | Islands: — Sicily with neighbouring islets; Elba. Corsica and Sardinia belonged to the Exarchate of Africa. | | FRANK. — | Augusta Praetoria (Aosta) and its valley: Segusia or Seusia (Susa) and its valley. These small regions belonged to Burgundia (kingdom of Guntram) c. 588 (cp. Hodgkin, Italy and her Invaders, v. 223) and probably remained Frankish for some time. | | LOMBARD. — | The rest. | The following table exhibits chronologically the progress of Lombard Conquest (so far as it can be discovered from our meagre data) from the first invasion to the reign of Rothari. Lombard Conquests| 568 | Forum Julii, Vincentia, Verona; all Venetia (except the coast, Patavium, Mons Silicis, Mantua). | | 569 | Liguria, including Mediolanum (except the Maritime Coast, and Ticinum = Pavia). Also Cisalpine Gaul, except Cremona and some smaller places. | | 570-572 | Central and Southern Italy partially conquered, including Tuscany and the duchies of Spoletium and Beneventum. | | 572 | Ticinum (after a three years’ siege); possibly Mantua and Placentia. | | 579 | Classis (but lost 588; recovered and surrendered, c. 720; taken by Liutprand, c. 725). | | 588 | Insula Comacina (in L. Como). | | 590 | (Lost Mantua, Placentia, Mutina, Parma, Rhegium, Altinum). | | 592 | Suana (in Tuscany). | | 601 | Patavium. | | 602 | Mons Silicis. | | 603 | Cremona, Mantua (and perhaps about this time most of the other places which the Empire recovered, c. 590), Vulturina (near Brixellum). | | 605 | Urbs Vetus, Balneus Regis (= Bagnorea). | | Before 640 | Concordia. | | Before 642 (?) | Sipontum. | | 640 | Maritime Liguria, Altinum, Opitergium. | These tables depend mainly on the notices in Paul’s History of the Lombards and on the notitia of George the Cypriote (ed. Gelzer).
