The Goths' sack of Rome in AD 410 was an event which shook the
Roman world to its core. This gripping book uncovers the key
factors that contributed to Alaric the Goth's capture of Rome: mass
migrations, military incompetence, civil war, court intrigue,
economic decline and religious bigotry. It also explains the
collapse of the Western Roman Empire, including the loss of
Britain, around AD 410. Telling a truly compelling story of a
defining moment in history, the book is packed with dramatic
characters and events. Bold personalities are brought to life,
drawn from sources newly translated for this book by master
storytellers thoroughly familiar with their subject. Although many
have asked why Rome fell, few have told the tale of how it fell.
The dramatic story is richly illustrated throughout with evocative
sites and iconic objects, many drawn from the vast collections of
the British Museum.
