		When, Bahram III died in 293 without issue, there was a contention between the brothers Narses and Hormazd of whom Narses was preferred by the Persians and ascended the throne in 293.
		Narses, moreover, ought not to be accounted a weaker prince than other Persian kings; thou hast indeed conquered him, but then thou surpassest all other monarchs; and thus Narses has of course been worsted by thee, though he is no whit inferior in merit to the best of his ancestors.
		However, it is well-known that Narses was already dead by the time of Hormizd's death in 309 for the throne passed onto Hormizd's still-unborn son Shapur.

		Narses reaped the fruits of his victory by receiving the keys of the strongest fortresses of the Goths in that portion of Italy.
		Narses now marched to the north, reducing one fortress after the other, and gaining the confidence of the inhabitants through his firm yet generous and faithful conduct.
		During many subsequent years the name of Narses is not once mentioned ; but we cannot but presume that in regulating the domestic affairs of Italy he acted in a way that did credit to his genius, although we know that his conduct was far from being free from avarice.

		He might have borne his disgrace with magnanimity but for the insulting message of the empress Sophia, who bade him leave the profession of arms to men, and resume his former occupations among the eunuchs, and spin wool with the maidens of the palace.
		The ambition of Narses was not only unlimited, but it was coupled with that irritable and resentful temper which is peculiar to women and eunuchs.
		Narses was one of those rare men who are des tined by Providence to rise above all others, and, according to circumstances or the particular shape of their genius, to become either the benefactors or the scourges of mankind.

		In the Spring of 552, Justinian's eunuch general Narses recruited a large army of Byzantines (East Romans) and barbarians, including Lombards and Heruli.
		Both generals tried to inspire their men with speeches, Narses emphasising the Byzantine superiority in numbers, Totila the importance of the battle, and the mercenary nature of their opponents.
		Narses formed his army in a defensive arc, dismounting his Lombards and Heruli to form the centre, and flanking them with his Byzantine cavalry.

		The talents of Narses were tried and improved in frequent embassies: he led an army into Italy acquired a practical knowledge of the war and the country, and presumed to strive with the genius of Belisarius.
		The justice or passion of Narses was awakened: he summoned the offender to his presence, and without listening to his excuses, gave the signal to the minister of death.
		After the battle of Casilinum, Narses entered the capital; the arms and treasures of the Goths, the Franks, and the Alamanni, were displayed; his soldiers, with garlands in their hands, chanted the praises of the conqueror; and Rome, for the last time, beheld the semblance of a triumph.

		It is quite possible that Narses may then have invited the Lombards to fall upon Italy; but it is perhaps more probable that, hearing of his recall, they invaded the country.
		Knowing that Narses was the hope of Italy, John followed him to Naples, and implored him not to go to Constantinople.

		None of the historians mentions that the latter Narses was a eunuch; nonetheless, the titles of cubicularius and praepositus are meaningful enough to confirm this.

		The Franks - who were mostly infantry - tended to advance in deep columns, too solid easily to be broken by flank attacks - if attacked from the side the column would halt and turn to face the direction of the attack.
