Answer

In 546, Totila, the Ostrogothic king, captured Rome for the first time during the Gothic War. This conquest marked a significant event in the conflict between the Ostrogoths and the Byzantine Empire, as Rome was the capital of Western Europe and held great symbolic and political importance.
