Second sack of Rome?

[edit]

The article starts by saying, "The sack of 455 was the second of three sacks of Rome" - wasn't it the third - 1. 390 BC by Brennus, 2. 410, 3. 455? Maybe it was meant in more "modern" times, whereas the Brennus one was semi-mythical? Cornelius (talk) 03:41, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to Sack_of_Rome (disambiguation) it was third of six.

just for the sake of readability

[edit]

can we stick to one version of geiseric's name, whichever is the preferred?

Number of casualties?

[edit]

I cannot find any supporting evidence or documentation regarding the amount of people killed, taken captive, or wounded. As well as the entire article states that Pope Leo I had come to an agreement with King Genseric to not burn or kill. But in the article it states “more than 400,000 Civilians and Defenders”. I’d rather try to discuss than throw an edit as I don’t have evidence to make an accurate change. HistoryDebilDawg (talk) 07:03, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
