After the sack of Rome king Alaric took his Visigoths to Calabria (the toe of Italy). He wanted to sail to Africa. However, he died. His successor, Ataulf, instead, took them to south-western Gaul.
Far from being the enemy of Rome, Alaric worked as king-maker, installing Priscus Attalus as emperor, and keeping him there despite policy disagreements. It didn't work. Ultimately, Rome's refusals to accommodate a barbarian led Alaric to sack Rome on August 24, A.D. 410.
In Roman times, "sack" referred to the act of plundering or looting a city or territory, typically after a military conquest. It involved the destruction of property and the taking of valuables, often leading to significant devastation. The term is often associated with historical events where armies would invade and overpower a city, resulting in widespread chaos and loss. The most famous example is the sack of Rome in 410 AD by the Visigoths, which marked a significant moment in the decline of the Western Roman Empire.
