	Battle of the Allia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of the Allia was a battle of the first Gallic invasion of Italy.
		Prior to the battle, the Gauls invaded the Etruscan province of Siena and attacked the town of Clusium.
		The legions fled back to Rome in panic; as Livy states, "all hastened to Rome and took refuge in the Capitol without closing the gates." In Rome the citizens barricaded themselves on the Capitoline Hill, and according to legend Marcus Manlius Capitolinus was alerted to the Gallic attack by the sacred geese of Juno.

	Rome's Christian Emperors to 410 CE

		In 325, he called for the Church's first ecumenical (general) council, which was to meet in the city of Nicaea for the purpose of deciding by committee the nature of Jesus Christ and other issues.
		Rome military leader, Stilicho strengthened his army in Italy by withdrawing troops from the Rhine frontier and from Britannia, and, in 402 and 403, Stilicho confronted Alaric and defeated him.

	Seattle Catholic - The Sack of Rome: 1527, 1776
		The Sack of Rome had its origins in the French-Spanish struggle for hegemony in Italy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
		Fortunately for Rome, an effort was made to rebuild its walls with something more suitable and more sturdy than whatever happened to be merely familiar: a reaffirmation of the authentic and eternal Catholic Tradition, a deeper understanding of which revealed the flaws of the immediate past and indicated a surer path to a better future.
		The proponents of false traditions in the first half of the sixteenth century did not see that their standard operating procedures were helpless to deal with the disaster of 1527.

		In Rome he carved the first of his major works, the Bacchus (Florence, Bargello) and the St Peter's Pietà, which was completed by the turn of the century.
		In the interval there had been the Sack of Rome and the Reformation, and the confident humanism and Christian Neoplatonism of the Ceiling had curdled into the personal pessimism and despondency of the Judgement.
		The first of these was by Vasari, who concluded the first (1550) edition of his 'Vite' with the Life of one living artist, Michelangelo.

	John Derbyshire on Attila on National Review Online
		The Roman legions were in a sad state of depletion at this point, two-thirds of the way from the first sack of Rome by Alaric in 410 to the final wrapping-up of the Western Empire in 476.
		The youth of Italy, says Gibbon, "trembled at the sound of the trumpet," and in strength and numbers, the Romans "scarcely deserved the name of an army." Probably the strongest force on the side of the West was the Visigothic army of Alaric's son Theodoric.
		(Rome had been abandoned before the sack of 410.) Pope Leo the Great came up from Rome to beg Attila to turn back, and there occurred that famous encounter between the Vicar of Christ and the Scourge of God, portrayed in a magnificent fresco by Raphael and in an emotional finale by Verdi.

	Alan J. White - History - Rome
		Rome was seen to have been a monstrous dead end, a failed experiment in applying the idea of the republic to a large state.
		After this, Rome was no longer a city whose people had but a single spirit, a single love of liberty, a single hatred of tyranny – a city where the jealousy of the Senate's power and the prerogatives of the great, always mixed with respect, was only a love of equality.
		Rome had exploited the energy of the Greek-style republic to conquer and extinguish all the other classical republics of the Mediterranean area, and had then murdered its own republic in favour of an autocracy that evolved into a hideously oppressive and stifling tyranny.

		The first classic work of political philosophy is Plato's The Republic, which was followed by Aristotle's Politics.
		The main change that Christian thought brought was to moderate the Stoicism and theory of justice of the Roman world, and emphasize the role of the state in applying mercy as a moral example.
		Augustine's City of God is an influential work of this period that refuted the thesis, after the First Sack of Rome, that the Christian view could be realized on Earth at all - a view many Christian Romans held.

		The Mediterranean after the First Punic War 220 B.C.E. The Second Punic War 219-202 B.C.E. Expansion into the eastern Mediterranean was achieved between 230 and 133 B.C.E. Initially, Rome intervened in the east to protect itself from possible threat and to protect the Greek city-states from territorial advances.

		Rome did not enforce absolute subjection, for local governments, traditions and laws were respected, and conquered subjects were encouraged to identify their well-being with Roman success.

		After the sack of Rome, Augustine wrote this book to anatomize the corruption of Romans' pursuit of earthly pleasures: "grasping for praise, open-handed with their money; honest in the pursuit of wealth, they wanted to hoard glory."
