In that pivotal period, he produced the Variae, a unique letter collection that gave witness to the sixth-century Mediterranean, as Late Antiquity gave way to the early Middle Ages. The Variae represents thirty years of Cassiodorus's work in civil, legal, and financial administration, revealing his interactions with emperors and kings, bishops and military commanders, private citizens and even criminals. Thus, the Variae remains among the most important sources for the history of this period and is an indispensable resource for understanding political and diplomatic culture, economic and legal structure, intellectual heritage, urban landscapes, religious worldview, and the evolution of social relations at all levels of society during the twilight of the late-Roman state.
