Unit Description
There is a popular saying, “Rome was not built in a day.” The opposite is also true: “Rome did not fall in a day.” The fall of Rome was due to many different circumstances. A failing economy, barbarian invasions, a military stretched too thin, and corruption that ran rampant. These were all contributing factors to the fall of Rome. This unit will cover the invasion of Rome by three different barbarian tribes: the Ostrogoths (East Goths), the Visigoths (West Goths), and the Vandals.
