Cassiod. Var. 5.2, a letter which Theoderic sent to the remote Hesti, depicts the Ostrogothic king as a new Augustus, drawing a parallelism with the Indian embassy of 20 BC. Both Theoderic and Augustus welcomed legates coming from the end of the earth, so they could both claim that their fame had reached the frontier of the known world.

Abstract
Cassiod. Var. 5.2, a letter which Theoderic sent to the remote Hesti, depicts the Ostrogothic king as a new Augustus, drawing a parallelism with the Indian embassy of 20 BC. Both Theoderic and Augustus welcomed legates coming from the end of the earth, so they could both claim that their fame had reached the frontier of the known world.
