the invasions cause the Empire to fall, or was the Empire failing,
encouraging the invasions? Just how much "slaughter" actually
happened? The so-called "barbarian" incursions covered many centuries,
and the descendent of the first waves were part and parcel of the Roman
Empire by the time the later ones arrived. The Ostrogoths crossed the
Danube initially not to conquer Rome, but to seek its protection from
the Huns. Visigoths and Franks were a major component of the Roman
army that defeated the Huns at Chalons. The Roman general Stilicho, a
key player in resisting Germanic attacks, was himself a Vandal. It's
always a complex weave, never a single thread.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div> <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Paul Finlow-Bates</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
