Placed in AD 489 by a source

Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Theodoric occupies Italy

Marcellinus reports Theodoric’s occupation of Italy under the consulship of Eusebius and Probinus (489).

Limits: Cassiodorus places the entry into Italy under 489 as well. Marcellinus narrates Odoacer’s confinement at Ravenna in the same entry, while Cassiodorus places that episode under 490. This claim dates only the occupation of Italy.
