The Sack of Rome

The sack of rome was no great strategic blow to the empire in military terms. Politically, it did not signal the end of the old imperial order. The wealth of the lavish homes and old imperial residences were stripped stuffed into bags and carted off. Citizens caught out of designated safe areas were beaten, raped and killed. Old pagan temples were looted without compunction. And it is with a heavy heart that i report that this is the moment when the ashes of augustus hadrian and so many other great imperial figures,. which had been kept safe for centuries inside of their mausoleums, were toppled and scattered to the winds of time.
