I am asking the same question, i wish i knew.....its for homework....
No he did not attack Rome as he did not have a seige train. He fought battles with Roman forces while in Italy between 218 and 203 BCE.
When was Rome named capital of Italy?
Rome predates the formation of a united Italy by more than 2000 years. The Kingdom of Italy was established in Sardinia in 1861, and Rome was captured in 1870 to became its capital in 1871. In 1946, the monarchy was abolished and the Italian Republic established.
Eastern Rome died because of the many generals that fought each other. The fighting weakened Rome as did the roads. The Barbarians walked strait to Rome on their own roads and took over Rome. ______________________________________________ because rome was way too big and there were little of soldiers to guard it from the invaders... so apparently, rome just died and there were no more kings to reunite rome or to fix it up. Rome died. -MM276 HOPE THIS HELPS! ______________________________________________________________

How is Modern fashion inspired by ancient rome?
Modern fashion changes from year to year and some would say from day to day. Our clothing, not only in style, but in fabrics too, are vastly different from the ancient. Unless he's going to a costume party, you don't see a man walking down the street in a tunic and sandals. Women, on the other hand, have a very loose inspiration from the ancients. A few years ago the tunic top was popular and that could be remotely inspired by the Romans. Sometimes women wear wraps or capes that could be, again, remotely inspired by the Romans. Roman women's fashions were generally belted and baggy, so if that fashion look ever comes into style for us, it would be an "ancient inspiration".
The origin is quite uncertain. It has often been held to be a variant on Romulus, the legendary co-founder. This site discusses alternatives: http://www.theromanforum.com/articolo.asp?ID=730
If by Rome you mean the city of Rome, it was sacked by the Gauls in 390 BC, the Visigoths in 410 AD, the Vandals in 455 AD, the Ostrogoth in 546, the Normans in 1084, and the troops of the Holy Roman emperor in 1527. The Arabs also sacked the Vatican (but not Rome) in 846.
If by Rome you mean the Roman empire, the western part of the empire was invaded by various Germanic peoples: the Vandals, Sueves, Alans, Burgundians, Alemanni, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians.
that does not make sense but i have a related question:

well its in Italy in the center middle , just near the coast
What is a catchy title for rome?
Crossroads of the World. In the ancient world people came to Rome to trade and because it was one of the most powerful governments in the ancient world. Today Rome still draws people because of its beauty, history, and the seat of the Catholic Church. I have been there 3 times and would go back for a 4th time if I had the money.
Modern Rome is not a megacity. It has a population of about three million. Ancient Rome was the biggest city in the world with a population which has been estimated at 1-1,4 million.
not really, there are the odd hill around the ruins but the centre of rome is relatively flat, there is of course many steps, the only hills are man made in general - ie: the banking around the collaseum
