A proposito di questo titolo

Rome was sacked in 410 CE by Alaric the Goth — but the 455 CE sack by the Vandals under King Gaiseric was arguably more devastating. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Vandal sack of Rome: how Gaiseric exploited imperial weakness, why Pope Leo the Great couldn't stop the looting this time, and the long-term consequences of 14 days of systematic plunder. They discuss the Vandals' origins as a Germanic tribe, their migration through Gaul and Spain, the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa under Gaiseric, the treaty of 442 CE, the assassination of Emperor Valentinian III, and the political chaos that left Rome defenseless. Lucas explains how Gaiseric demanded not just treasure but the imperial family itself, and how the sack shattered Rome's remaining prestige. The episode also touches on the term "vandalism" (coined centuries later), the fate of the looted artworks, and the Vandals' surprising legacy as skilled naval power. A fresh angle on a familiar fall — and a reminder that 455 CE, not 410, may have been the real death blow to the Western Roman Empire.
