ROME, FALL OF

For 800 years no foreign power had forcefully entered the gates of Rome. But in A.D. 410 all that changed as the Visigoth leader Alaric stormed the once-proud city. Join us as we learn who Alaric was and why Rome was so vulnerable. Meet Stilicho who had managed several times to thwart Alaric's plans. Meet others, too, who played a role in Rome's rise and fall - Commodus, Diocletian, Constantine, and Theodosius. Read first-hand accounts about those "barbarians" from the north. See you at the "gates"!
