How do you use Mausoleum of Theodoric? |
Civilopedia Entry[]
In the chaos of the fall of the Western Roman Empire, successor states were often ruled by “barbarian” kings – Theodoric of the Ostrogoths among them. The Goths have retained significant staying power – our modern use of “Gothic” to mean “ghoulish” stems from its use by Italians to disparage the Goths in antiquity; the term was later used to disparage medieval European architecture (gargoyles and flying buttresses, etc.), a style that frequented, and gave name to, the subsequent genre of 18th-19th century horror literature. The Mausoleum of Theodoric is an example of the architecture of the ancient Goths. The structure is a simple stone circle that housed Theodoric’s remains and included a lower level for services. It remains a sign of Italy's early Middle Ages, a period of great transition for the West.
Trivia[]
- The Mausoleum of Theodoric's wonder quote comes from the medieval Germanic heroic legend, Beowful, specifically part of the speech by Beowulf to king Hrothgar after Grendel's mother kills his trusted advisor Æschere.
