Barbarians Sack Rome

I interviewed Alartic, who is one of the most famous barbarians last weekend in order to find out more about the mark he made in history. He granted me a few questions and my first was what group of barbarians captured Rome? His response was the Goths which he was in fact the leader of during the time of the conquering. I than asked him what the Goths truly wanted from Rome when capturing it. "We looted all of Rome and took all expensive items, although what we were really looking for was food. What we discovered was there was not much food after we had killed the Romans and many of us had died of starvation." My final question was, what did you do after the capturing of Rome? He answered "I traveled south with the intention of crossing over to Africa, but i was hindered by the storms along the Mediterranean coast."
