Alaric's capture of Rome in 410 AD shocked the Roman people because it marked the first time in over 800 years that the city had fallen to a foreign enemy. This event shattered the illusion of Roman invincibility and the Empire's enduring power. Additionally, Rome was seen as the heart of civilization, and its sacking symbolized the decline of Roman authority and the vulnerability of the Empire. The psychological impact of such a historic defeat reverberated throughout the Empire, leading to widespread fear and uncertainty about its future.
