What stragety did Alaric use to take over Rome?

Alaric, the leader of the Visigoths, used a strategy of siege and negotiation to take over Rome in 410 AD. After a prolonged siege that weakened the city's defenses, he capitalized on the internal strife and political instability within Rome. Alaric's forces eventually breached the city walls, and he negotiated terms of surrender, allowing his troops to plunder the city while also seeking recognition and land for his people. This marked the first time in over 800 years that Rome had fallen to a foreign enemy.

Who attacked Rome in 387 BC?

In about 387 BC a people called the Gauls attacked Rome and took over they city. Soldiers from the Senone Tribe of the Gauls (who were from Marche, on the east coast of Central Italy) sacked Rome, but did not take it over. They left after Rome agreed to pay 1,000 pounds of Gold. It is thought that they were mercenaries hired by Hierro of Syracuse (in Sicily) on their way south to Calabria (the toe of Italy) to fight there. They were interested in booty and ransom, not in taking over. The date of the Gallic sack is uncertain. 390 BC and 387 BC are two possible dates. Historians tend to settle for 390 BC.
