Segario would also wage war with the Visagoths to reclaim lost land in Gaul.

In the upcoming 6th Century, the Byzantines under Emperor Justian in 534 invaded Ostrogoth Italy , while Sossian Emperor Anieus invaded the North, the Ostrogoths could not fight on two fronts.

It became a race to reach Rome,

Anieus with Legions I III and VI won the race reaching Rome and besieging the city,

Anieus would storm Rome before Belisarurs Eastren General even arrived.Belisarurs demanded that Anieus kiss his feet and send Justian Tribute-

Anieus Refused and the Eastren Empire was shut out of Rome. This is Resulted in the War of the Great Split between the Revied Westren Empire and the Present Standing East

The war ended eventually ended in 545 A.D Sossians being reconigzed as the Reborn Westren Roman Empire, Easten Rome would conquer the Vandal Kingdom in Carthage, while Sossians took Mauretania Tingitana.

In 548 Visagoth Hispania (Spain) was invaded by Anieus, The Last Visagoth King Athangild was slain in Cathaoga Nova during a siege in 550, in six years the resistance would and wane, in 556 the last of the Visogoths were defeated near mondern day Torledo the rebirth of Westren Empire was complete. In September 12th of 556, Anieus is named heir of Augustus and protector of the Pope. September 12 would be celebreated as the Roman Re-Birth day until 1789
