The Ostrogothic King gave money for the upkeep of the urban structure of Rome. Money was being used to maintain Rome and its population ranged between 150,000 - 300,000 in the 6th Century befor the Gothic Wars. Your description about the condition of the building is way off What really brought ruin to Rome was the massive earthquake of 847 that destroyed the palaces on Palentine hill and one of the large basilicas.
