    Senators: "CAESAR, THE BARBARIANS HAVE SACKED ROME!" Honorius: "OH, NO!!!... I think I ran out of bread for the birds..." Jokes Aside, I feel bad for Honorius, to be honest. He was forced to become Emperor since he was a child despite being too young and unprepared for such position. Most of the bad things he did were by fault of the poor advisers he had, who forced him to commit horrible actions like murdering Stilicho. In fact, the docudrama "Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire" depicts Honorius as a cute and sympathetic teenager who doesn't know how manipulated he is. The scene in which he cries after knowing about the sacking of Rome is pretty sad, actually.

    The murder of stilicho was probably one of the biggest mistakes on the part of the Romans in the late empire yeah. I forget the exact names but ik advisors of both honorius and the eastern emperor really had it out for him no matter how many times he saved their skins. Really disheartening once you start learning about late Rome on the decline and see that a lot of it was due to incompetent and greedy men fighting amongst themselves one after another. Although that narrative could be so different from early imperial and late republican history as a result of bias or romanticization of the 'good ole days', but i like to think that constant civil wars is a pretty good marker for decline and instability lol.

    Nothing was lost. Some libraries continued to be maintained after the city was conquered. Mostly religious texts were targeted. Besides, all the knowledge within the walls also existed outside. Remember, the printing press had already been invented. Infact it was the least tragic of the 4 events in the video, even in teems of "loss of knowledge". Was the Bubonic plague not a greater tragedy ? Or, the British occupation of India ? The latter actually led to actual loss of knowledge (eg: Dhaka Muslin).

    @@Galletas-my3sv That is my opinion. İ choose to fight and die, sword in hand rather than die in bed because of a disease. By the way, that disease came to the Aztec land via the blankets given them by the Spanish as a gift! That was a biological assault just like the Mongols did in Crimea. The difference is that the Genoese were aware of it while the Aztecs were not. Blankets were gifts after all, not heads catapulted through city walls.
