Alaric and the Visigoths sacked Rome.

I am amazed now at what information we have access to and as time goes on we are adding to the knowledge of mankind for the future generations.

Thank you to the new young film makers. They prove that Hollywood is lame compared to REAL movie makers. (Some exceptions for Clint, Chuck and a few others)
