The Battle of Verona was fought on 30 September 489 between the Ostrogothic leader Theodoric the Great and the Germanic King of Italy Odoacer. Theodoric personally led his troops in battle, and achieved a decisive victory. Odoacer was subsequently forced to flee to Ravenna, and Theodoric was free to capture Pavia and Milan.[1]
