tragedy, the first play written by the young Carlo Goldoni and presented at Milan in 1733. Romanian poet George Coșbuc wrote a poem entitled Regina Ostrogotilor (The Queen of the Ostrogoths) in which Amalasuintha (named Amalasunda in the poem) speaks to Theodahad (mentioned as Teodat in the poem) shortly before he kills her. Asteroid 650 Amalasuntha is named in her honour. Amalasuintha is portrayed by Honor Blackman in the 1968 film Kampf um Rom. References Further reading Craddock, Jonathan Paul.
