Definately more of a hit and run raid than a full on sacking. Damage was limited, in addition to what you have described here, the area around the Salarian gate and the Gardens of Sallust were also damaged by fire. Alaric only sacked Rome when he had no other options. He couldn't secure an arrangement with the Roman authorities. He had to send a message to his allies and enemies that he meant business, and he really needed gold and supplies to sustain his people. The infrastructure, monuments, and general fabric of the city remained intact, and casualties were very low. The real damage was done to the population (it fell from 800, 000 to 500, 000 in a mass exodus, still a great number, but a definate dropoff) as well as the Roman psyche.
The Vandal sack of 455 on the other hand, really started the decline.

Amazing as always. Very cool to see a depiction of Rome in 410, I don't believe that has been done before and it's very interesting to see. I did not know the Curia was burned too, so that's certainly interesting to learn about.
Would be amazing to see more of this. I always wondered what Rome may have looked like, for example around Justinian's time, when the buildings (I believe) were still fairly intact structurally, but the city itself was completely empty.

I am surprised that you do not look at the new Roman Capital at Constantinople, which made Rome, Italy look like a backwater. Plus I would like to see what Rome looked like when there were weeds growing in the streets. It wasn't until the Roman Byzantine Empire freed Rome, Italy from the barbarians, that Rome, was free again.

noob, you should ask forgiveness on your knees to an upside flipped prof, he made a wonderful basilica of Maxentius and in any case your works are full of errors, review for example the basilica julia and the colosseum seems taken from 3d wharehouse platform i am seeing now!

Wonderful, and very detailed work, absolutely excellent! I see, you and me we share the same fascination with the transition of Rome from its peak in 320 AD to the decline of the middle ages. I am already looking forward to your next videos.

410 was not that terrible year if we compared to the sack of 455 by Vandals, in that year the city of Rome heavily damaged.
Thank you for your efforts.

If the litteral Roman Emperor of this time wasn't a dick about paying his generals properly
Then the sack wouldn't have happened, the Goths were right to do that

Excellent work as usual! Always thought it would be interesting to see a 3D portrayal of the slow decline and ruin of Rome throughout the centuries

Sorry for misprint at 0: 09 - Roma is a 'she', not 'he'. It's important to highlight.
