an ancient roman event
I guess you mean the last event in the history of ancient Rome. Rome still exists. Perhaps the last event in the history of the western part of the Roman Empire was the conquest of the Domain of Soissons, the last territory the Romans held in Gaul by the Franks (a Germanic people) in 486. The last event in the history of the eastern part of the Roman Empire was the capture of its capital, Constantinople, by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Historians have coined the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern pat of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part.
