Why did alaric capture rome?
He did not captured Rome. He sacked it and then went to Calabria (the toe of Italy) and died there. Had he stayed in Rome he would have had to face the coming of the Roman legions gathered from around the empire. Moreover, he did not want to undermine the empire. He was acting out of his grievance for not having been appointed as a general of the Roman army as he had expected. This grievance led him to attack northern Italy, but was defeated by Stilicho, the chief of staff of the army of the west. The treacherous murder of Stilicho made the situation bad. Stilicho was the only commander who was capable to defeat Alaric. Without him Italy became vulnerable. Stilicho also had made an alliance with Alaric. They planned to attack the part Illyrucum which belonged to the empire of the east together. This would have satisfied Alaric's ambitions. The young and incompetent emperor Honorious mishandled Alaric's demand of a large sum of money as compensation for the cancellation of the campaign in Illlyrucum which followed Stilicho's death. As a result, Alaric besieged Rome three times. The third time he sacked it. It is likely that Alaric went to Calabria because he planned to go to Africa (the breadbasket of the empire) to disrupt Rome's grain supplies.
What is Alaric from ancient Rome?
Alaric I was the king of the Visigoths, a Germanic people. The Visigoths had been allowed to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire by the emperor Valens in 376. In 394 Alaric provided troops for the forces of emperor Theodosius I which defeated an attempt at usurpation in Italy. After this he led a rebellion by the Visigoths, attacked Greece and destroyed several cities there. He then got into a dispute with the emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, Honorius. He tried to invade Italy, but was defeated by Stilicho, the general of the armies of the western part of the Roman Empire. Stilicho and Alaric then reached an amicable agreement, but Stilicho was betrayed and murdered. Alaric's disputes with Honorius continued and he besieged Rome three times. On the third occasion (in 410) he also sacked the city. He then went to Calabria (the toe of Italy) before the Roman armies could be mobilised from around the empire and march on Rome. He wanted to sail to Africa, the breadbasket of the empire, to hold Honorius at ransom, but he died. His successor, Ataulf, his brother-in-law, moved the Visigoths to southwestern France.
Who celebrated the last Roman triumph?
According to the poet Claudian the emperor Honorius celebrated the last known official triumph in the city of Rome, and the western Empire in 404. He did not actually won anything. It was his general Stilicho who had defeated the Visigothic king Alaric I at the battles of Pollentia and Verona in 402.
Who where the goths?
Their original homeland was Dacia; they were displaced by the invasion of the Huns (376) and fled to Rome, after a famine led to limited resources, they were no longer welcome in rome and revolted. Emperor Valens was killed in the Battle of Adrianople (378) and succeded by Theodosius I, who allowed the Visigoths to settle in Thrace. After the death of Theodosius I, general Stilicho (guardian of one of Theodosius I's heirs, Honorius, who was a minor at the time of his father's death) was mostly in control of the Western Roman Empire. Stilicho was a vandal (another Germanic tribe), and the Visigoths fought under him during his reign, although Stilicho unfairly sent the Visigoths into battle first in order to weaken his army (and to protect his own), they were associated and all foederati (non-citizens of Rome, tribal groups) were persecuted after the fall of Stilicho, who was executed for conspiracy against the young emperor. Thus, the foederati were chased out of Italy and seeked out Alaric I, king of the Visigoths, who led them in battle against Rome. After sacking Rome in 410, the Visigoths were driven into Gaul by Constantius III in 412. They settled in Aquitania (Gaul). They established a kingdom in Gaul, and through conquest, they extended their territory into Hispania (modern-day Spain and Portugal). After the Battle of Vouillé in 507, when the Visigoths were defeated by Clovis I, king of the Franks, they were driven out of modern-day France and the kingdom was restricted to Hispania. The Visigoths continued to rule Hispania until the muslim invasion in 711. So, Dacia, then Rome, then Thrace, then Gaul, then Hispania.
How you would have prevented the fall of Rome?
If I were the emperor Honorius I would not have been led into executing Stilicho by his political opponents. Stilicho was the commander-in-chief of the Roman army in the west, who was a very good general who would have been capable of dealing with the invasion of Gaul by the Germanic peoples and a good statesman. I would have negotiated with Alaric I, the king of the Ostrogoths. Honorius refused to negotiate Alaric's demands for payments to him. As a result, Alaric besieged Rome three times and on the third time sacked it. Honorius could have tried to meet his demands, at least partially, avoid his invasions of Italy and sieges of Rome and re-enlist his support as he was actually an ally of the Romans. His troops could have been used to help the Romans to fight against the invaders.
What group or tribe took over Rome?
"After the death of Theodosius I in 395, the Visigoths renounced their treaty with the Empire and invaded northern Italy under their new king Alaric, but were repeatedly repulsed by the Western commander-in-chief Stilicho. However, the limes on the Rhine had been depleted of Roman troops, and in early 407 Vandals, Alans, and Suevi invaded Gaul en masse and, meeting little resistance, proceeded to cross the Pyrenees, entering Spain in 409.Stilicho became a victim of court intrigues in Ravenna (where the imperial court resided since 402) and was executed for high treason in 408. After his death, the government became increasingly ineffective in dealing with the barbarians, and in 410 Rome was sacked by the Visigoths."The invasion of Rome caused the Western Empire to collapse. The end. However, the eastern Roman Empire I think lives on today, in Italy. However, check that cause I'm not sure about the end (or not end) of the Roman Empire.
Was Honorius a good of bad Emperor?
Honorius was neither good nor bad. He was very young (he became emperor when he was 11) and had to face the begging of the disintegration of the western part of the Roman Empire. He spent his reign dealing with military emergencies. His general Stilicho fended of two attempted invasion of Italy. Then he was persuaded by opponents Stilicho, that was he plotting against him and backed a conspiracy against him and ordered his arrest and execution. He also mishandled negotiations with Alaric, the king of the Visigoths who then besieged Rome three times and on the third occasion he sacked it. The Visigoths then moved to south-western France. When he was 23 there was an invasion of Gaul by three Germanic peoples (the Vandals, Alans and Sueves) who then moved to Spain. There were also two usurpations in Gaul which were defeated by a new general, Constantius, whom he made co-emperor as Constantius III. Honorius also granted south-western France to the Visigoths as they were Roman allies.

How did the attacks from the goths and Persians push rome to the brink of disaster?
The Romans fought wars against the Persians for more than 380 years. Their disputes were mainly about Armenia, a territory which stood in between the two empires. The Persian Empire was powerful enough to stand up to Roman Empire. These wars were costly and required to use of large military resources to fight in an area which was far away from the vast frontiers of the Roman Empire in Europe, which were often under attack by peoples to the north and the east of these frontiers. This situation contributed to the Roman army becoming overstretched when it had to face a series of invasions, could create a lot of strain and made it more difficult for the Romans to defend the European area of their empire. The Visigoths (Goths of the east) asked the Romans to allow them to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire to escape the invasion of eastern Europe by the Huns. The emperor Valens granted this in 386. However,at times there were conflicts between the Romans and the Visigoths. This became particualry bad under the Alaric, a king of the Visigoths. He invaded Italy when the Goths were dissatisfied with the Romans. He was defeated by Stilicho, the general of the Roman army, who then made a political agreement with Alaric. However, Stilicho was executed due to false accusations by political rivals. Following this Alaric made demands which the emperor Honorius tuned down. Alaric then invaded Italy and besieged Rome three times. On the third occasion, in 410, he also sacked the city. Soon after this Alaric died and the conflict ended. To counter Alaric's first invasion of Italy, Stilicho had to redeploy some Roman troops from Gaul to Italy. It is thought that this made it easier for the Vandals, Alans and Sueves to invade Gaul while this conflict was going on. The Romans were not capable to respond to these invasions, which were the beginning of the process which led to the fall of the western part of the Romans Empire
