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.

Why did Gauls attack rome?

The Gauls attacked Rome primarily due to territorial expansion and the desire for resources. Tensions arose from Rome's growing power and influence in the region, which threatened the Gauls' autonomy. In particular, the sacking of Rome in 390 BCE by the Senones, a Gallic tribe, was driven by the pursuit of wealth and revenge for previous Roman incursions. Additionally, internal divisions within the Gauls and the opportunity presented by a less fortified Rome contributed to their decision to launch the attack.

Nothing. Mohammed was born more than one hundred years after ancient Rome fell to the barbarians.
