Besides Eleutherius and Joannes Platinus, the Traversari family held this city for thirty two years. Conquered by the Visconti under the auspices of an alliance with the deposed da Polenta family, this city was conquered by the French at a 1512 battle which saw the death of Gaston de Foix in the War of the League of (*) Cambrai. It is home to the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and the Basilica of San Vitale, and the latter was completed during this city's "exarchate." For 10 points, name this former capital of Odoacer and the Ostrogoths, a city in Emilia-Romagna.
