Alaric |
Today, I am interviewing the one and only, Alaric, King of the Goths.
Q: Why did you ruin Rome?
A: I felt like I needed to and I wanted food and money. I was a barbarian. I tried to negotiate at first but they just had different ideas. They would not stop disagreeing with me. I was actually part of the Roman Empire, but kings of the Goths.
Q: And what did you want to do?
A: I wanted to conquer the city on August 24, 410 AD.
Q: And what did you do when you got to Rome?
A: Totally destroyed it. Oh! We also took prisoners.
Q: And what happened to Rome?
A: Well, as I already said many times, it was destroyed. It was the declare of the death of Rome. There was no security, no infrastructure, and a rise of Christianity.
Q: Oh, thats too bad. What happened when you died?
A: Well after destroying the city, we moved on. I died at Cosentia. My brother-in-law, Athaulf was elected.
Q: Well Alaric, thank you so much for coming here today
A: Yeah. It was good. Bye
