The Traversari are an ancient noble family of Italy. Their origins may lie in the late fifth century, being descendants of Theodore, General of the Heruli. There are other sources that cite the Traversari Decia as descendants from the Gens Decia of Ancient Rome. Theodoric I was named Count of Rimini and Senigallia after the death of Orestes. After the Byzantine conquest of Italy, the Traversari retained significant and influential positions.
Origins
Their origins may lie in the late fifth century, being descendants of Theodore, General of the Heruli. There are other sources that cite the Traversari Decia as descendants from the Gens Decia of Ancient Rome. In 476 AD with the death of Orestes, Odoacer, leader of the Heruli, Scirian and Torcilingi was declared the "King of Italy" on 23 August 476 AD, with its capital at Ravenna. Odoacer gave Theodore the office of the General Assembly. Theodore took the surname of Traversari and built a castle (still extant) named "Traversara".
