As a history buff (especially Roman history), I am fascinated by the Late Roman period (late 3rd century onwards). There’s so much new evidence that points to the fact although the City of Rome itself was sacked at least twice in the 5th Century (in 410 AD by the Visigoths and 455 AD by the Vandals), the city itself actually began to make a comeback in the late 5th Century under the rule of the Ostrogoths especially under the rule of King Theodoric. For those of you who are fascinated about this topic I highly recommend following this channel on Youtube where it’s all about this topic and period.....https://www.youtube.com/shorts/N3S3H01P-0c

Thanks. There was damage, sacking, pillaging, rapine, the usual things associated with a violent change of rule (we’re living through one of those right now), but the transition from supposedly Roman rule to non-Roman rule was not necessarily more violent than the various successions from preceding centuries.
