What is considered the Kingdom of Italy established from 493 to 553?
Ostrogothic Papacy The Ostrogothic Papacy was a period from 493 to 537 where the papacy was strongly influenced by the Ostrogothic Kingdom, if the pope was not outright appointed by the Ostrogothic King. The selection and administration of popes during this period was strongly influenced by Theodoric the Great and his successors Athalaric and Theodahad. This period terminated with Justinian I's (re)conquest of Rome during the Gothic War (535–554), inaugurating the Byzantine Papacy (537-752).
Italian Islands of the Aegean The Italian Islands of the Aegean (Italian: "Isole italiane dell'Egeo" ; Greek: Ἰταλικαὶ Νῆσοι Αἰγαίου Πελάγους ) were a group of twelve major islands (the Dodecanese) in the southeastern Aegean Sea, which — together with the surrounding islets — were ruled by the Kingdom of Italy from 1912 to 1943.
