| Summary | "A Struggle for Rome, v. 3" by Felix Dahn is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book is the third volume in a series that deals with the struggles of the Gothic King Witichis and the Byzantine general Belisarius during the tumultuous times of the Gothic Wars in Italy. It explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the clash between different cultures as various factions vie for power in the ancient city of Rome. The opening of this volume presents a moment of tense conflict and power dynamics as Belisarius achieves a major victory against the Goths, leading to the capture of King Witichis. Amidst the chaos, characters like the cunning Prefect Cethegus and devoted wife Rauthgundis navigate their own agendas and desires. Belisarius finds himself unexpectedly dismissed from command by the Emperor Justinian, leading to a tumultuous shift in allegiances and the beginnings of a larger struggle as Witichis and Rauthgundis make plans for an escape. The stage is set for personal and political strife, engaging readers in the intricate web of relationships and ambitions that mark the fall and rise of empires.
