▪ Italian history
(553), decisive engagement fought near Naples,
Italy, in which the Byzantine general
Narses defeated the Goths. This battle ended the threat of the last king of the Ostrogoths (
Ostrogoth),
Teïas, who, after leading his warriors through a valley near Mount Vesuvius and then retreating to Mons Lactarius (Italian Monte Lettere, a mountain in the St. Angelo range), attacked the Roman army. Teïas was slain while in the process of changing shields; his army was allowed to retire peaceably outside the Roman frontiers on the condition that they would never again invade the empire.
Narses, a eunuch who rose to the position of grand chamberlain during the reign of Justinian I, is credited with the restoration of imperial control to Italy.
