Thank you for your replies to my question. I have another, if you
please. According to Jordanes, (De Rebus Geticis, as quoted by Thomas
Hodgkin,'Barbarian Invasion of the Roman Empire. page 464 I
Visigothic Invasions) when Alaric died at Cosenza, in 410, the
Busento was diverted from its normal course so that the Gothic
leader's grave could be excavated beneath it.

When the tomb was finished, the stream was directed back into its
normal channel. According to legend (?) Alaric was buried with a
great deal of treasure. Has any attempt ever been made to locate his
tomb?
