The years are wrong. Restored Roman imperial rule over the city of Rome started on December 9, 536 CE, when Justinian's general Belisarius' forces entered Rome. Imperial rule over the city of Rome continued uninterrupted for 220 years, until 756 CE, when Pepin the Short, King of the Franks, marched into Rome with his forces - and through his Donation of Pepin created Papal States, making the Pope a temporal ruler. This of course also marked the end of the restored Roman imperial rule over the city of Rome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.82.108.34 (talk) 21:00, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
