Possible Answers:
ruling over the Eastern Roman Empire during the fifth century

surrendering to Julius Caesar in the Gallic Wars
Correct answer:
leading the sack of Rome
Explanation:
Alaric the Visigoth was the leader of a Germanic group of people (called the Visigoths) in the late fourth and early fifth centuries. He led a devastating sack of the city of Rome in 410 CE, which contributed heavily to the decline of the Western Roman Empire. It was also of great symbolic significance for people living in this time period, because it was the first time Rome had been sacked in more than seven hundred years.
