5 years
8 years
10 years
Until 562
Answer
Totila's death in 552 did not immediately quell all resistance to Byzantine rule in Italy. Pockets of resistance persisted until 562, when the last significant Ostrogothic stronghold, Verona, fell to the Byzantines. These holdouts were led by Ostrogothic nobles and local leaders who refused to accept Byzantine authority and continued to fight for Ostrogothic independence.
