4. The Sack of Rome

The Goths Part IV

408 to 410 CE

The death of Stilicho leaves Alaric and the Visigoths high and dry. Negotiations break down, and Alaric takes drastic action. The Sack of Rome of 410 is pointed to as one of the points where the Roman Empire fell, and the resonance of the event would be felt down through the centuries.
