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.
The years of ancient Rome run from the founding of the city in 753 BC to the fall of the western empire in 476 AD.
Rome was captured several times throughout its history. Notable instances include the Gauls in 390 BC, the Visigoths led by Alaric in 410 AD, and the Vandals in 455 AD. Additionally, the city fell to the Ostrogoths in 476 AD and was sacked again by the forces of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1527.

The Roman Empire ended in 476 CE. The only current Romans live in the city of Rome.
What fell in 476 was the western part of the Roman Empire, not the city of Rome. The city itself continued its self-governance.Thee western part of the Roman Empire fell to the Vandals, Suevi, Alans, Burgundians, Visigoths and Franks. Britannia fell to the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians
Flavius Odoacer. He did not capture Rome in 476 by the way; he captured the city of Ravenna which by then had become the seat of Roman Government and the place where the last Roman Emperor lived. After his takeover, the Roman Senate invited him to Rome where he was hailed as the new ruler of Italy.
Rome was never a little settlement. The foundation of Rome involved the unification of a number of independent settlements on what were to become the seven hills of Rome. Therefore, it was a sizable city-state from the beginning. The date given by the Roman tradition for the foundation of Rome is 853 BC. The city of Rome was never invaded. It was sacked four times, but it was not invaded or taken over. What was invaded was the western part of the Roman Empire. Its invasions started in 406 AD. The conventional date used by historians for the fall of the western part of the empire is 476. The invaders eventually took over the lands of this part of the empire, but did not take the city of Rome.
When the Visigoths sacked Rome many inhabitants fled to Africa. Many people were taken captive and were ransomed or sold as slaves. The city was ransacked. However, only a few buildings were destroyed. The city suffered hardship for some time, but it then recovered. The Visigoths moved to south-western France, made peace and renewed their alliance with the Romans. The Visigoths and the Franks provided allied troops to the Roman force which defeated Attila of the Huns at the Battle of the Cataulian Plains and stopped his invasion of Gaul. The sack of Rome by the Vandals 45 years later was much more damaging.
