Who were the ostrogoths and the visigoths?
The Visigoths and Ostrogoths were originally Goths, a Germanic tribe who lived in what is now Scandinavia. In the third century A.D. the Goths invaded the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, and during the fourth century they broke into two groups. Those living north of the present-day Danube River became known as the Visigoths; those living farther east, in present-day Ukraine, were called the Ostrogoths. When the Huns from central Asia attacked the Visigoths and Ostrogoths, many of the Visigoths escaped into an eastern Roman province. Rebelling against the Roman rulers, the Visigoths destroyed the Roman army at a battle in Adrianople (in present-day Turkey) and killed Valens (328?-378), the emperor of the eastern Roman Empire. Under their leader, Alaric I (c. 370-340), the Visigoths moved into Italy. In 410 they attacked Rome, the seat of the Roman Empire, stealing treasure, burning buildings, and killing the inhabitants. (The attack left Rome vulnerable to other Germanic tribes, who invaded the Roman Empire and brought about its downfall around 476.) After sacking Rome, the Visigoths traveled westward into Gaul, where they created a kingdom that included most of France and Spain. In 507 the Franks drove out the Visigoths, who escaped to the Iberian Peninsula (present-day Spain and Portugal) and set up their kingdom with Toledo as its capital. In 711 Muslims from northern Africa, conquered the Visigoths and ruled most of the peninsula until the mid-1400s. In 375 the Huns conquered the Ostrogoths. After the Huns' leader Attila died in 453, the Ostrogoths revolted against their conquerors. In 493, under their ruler Theodoric (455-526), the Ostrogoths established the Ostrogothic kingdom of Italy, only to be overcome by armies of the Byzantine Empire a century later. Eventually, the Ostrogoths became part of the populations of Europe.

Which empire led rome at the time of its conquest?
There was not an empire which led Rome and there was not a conquest of Rome. Rome had an empire: the Roman Empire. Although the invasions by the Germanic peoples led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, the city of Rome was never conquered. Ancient Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410 and by the Vandals in 455, but it was not conquered. Both Visigoths and Vandals withdrew after the sack. They did so before units of the Roman army from elsewhere in the Roman Empire would catch up with them.

What effect did the Goths' attack on Rome in 410 have on the citizens of Rome?
When the Visigoths sacked Rome many inhabitants fled to Africa. Many people were taken captive and were ransomed or sold as slaves. The city was ransacked. However, only a few buildings were destroyed. The city suffered hardship for some time, but it then recovered. The Visigoths moved to south-western France, made peace and renewed their alliance with the Romans. The Visigoths and the Franks provided allied troops to the Roman force which defeated Attila of the Huns at the Battle of the Cataulian Plains and stopped his invasion of Gaul. The sack of Rome by the Vandals 45 years later was much more damaging.
