Sack of Rome (1 jan 401 ano – 1 jan 410 ano)

Descrição:

Beginning in 401, the Visigoths, a formidable group of Germanic tribes, initiated a series of invasions into Italy. Under the leadership of their king, Alaric I, who ruled from 395 to 410, the Visigoths launched multiple assaults on Roman territories. Their persistent campaigns culminated in the historic sack of the City of Rome in 410 AD, an event that dramatically symbolized the decline of Roman power. This momentous event is often cited as the formal Fall of Rome, marking a significant turning point in European history. The sack by the Visigoths was not just a military triumph but also a psychological blow to the prestige of the Roman Empire, vividly demonstrating its vulnerability and accelerating its eventual downfall.
