Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Alaric, (born c. 370, Peuce Island [now in Romania]-died 410, Cosentia, Bruttium [now Cosenza, Italy]), chief of the Visigoths from 395 and leader of the army that sacked Rome in August 410, an event that symbolized the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the time of the sack, Rome was no longer capital of the Empire. In 410 AD, the capital of the Roman Empire had already been moved to Ravenna 8 years prior. Despite this fact, Rome still had great symbolic and emotional significance, causing the sack to reverberate through the Empire.
