The siege of Verona in the winter of 541, was an engagement during the Gothic War (535–554).[1]
The Byzantine army almost took the city after taking over the city gate with the assistance of an insider, but a quarrel erupted among the Byzantines regarding the distribution of the booty. The Ostrogoths under Totila exploited the disarray and retook the city.
