The tribes came from the North and when they crossed the Alps into Italy they were first held back by the Romans, but as time wore on and the Roman troops were spread thinner and thinner it became easier for the barbarian tribes to encroach into the Northern Europe and then move down into the southern areas. This was something that didn't happen over night and the Romans also had some barbarian treaties as well as men within the Roman army.
