In the 5th century C.E., Rome was sacked twice by "barbarian" forces. In 410, Alaric led a force of Goths (or, Visigoths) into Italy, sacking Rome and other cities. Later, in the 480s and 490s, a force of Germanic peoples known as Ostrogoth's invaded Italy, captured Rome, and set themselves up as the rulers of the conquered territory, thus bringing the Western Roman Empire to its formal end.
