Who prevented the sacking of rome?

Ancient Rome was sacked four times (by the Senone Gauls in 387 BC, the Visigoths in 410 AD, the Vandals in 455 Ad and the Ostrogoths in 546 AD). Some of the times Rome was besieged, she was also sacked. When sieges of Rome were abandoned, this was due to the protection given by the city walls and good organisation of the defence of the city by its citizens or the arrival of Roman armies from elsewhere.
