At this time rome was in starvation. There was not enough food for everyone to eat. And even the royal people did not have enough food to eat. The food was with the barbarians.
-
The only reason the barbarians starved Rome was for the emperor to keep his part of the deal.The barbarians let Rome get food for three days for all the roman gold.Even all the gold wasnt enough to win their freedom.Only three days.

the barbaians starved rome. priscus attalus (one of the senators) made a deal with the king of goths. the king of goths said if they give all the gold and silver to them they will let them free. so they gave them everything they had and the barabrians said tht wasnt enough. so barbarians said they will feed them only for three days until the barbarians get what they want
-
The barbarians and goths made rome starve. They made Rome suffer the way they made them suffer when rome destroyed their place. Its the fairest it can get.

Priscus Attalus died after 416 was twice Roman usurper in 409 and in 414, against Emperor Honorius, with Visigothic support. Priscus Attalus was a Greek from Asia whose father had moved to Italy under Valentinian I. Attalus was an important senator in Rome, who served as praefectus urbi in 409. He was twice proclaimed emperor by the Visigoths, in an effort to impose their terms on the ineffectual Emperor Honorius, in Ravenna. He held the title of emperor in Rome, during 409, and later in Bordeaux in 414. His 1two reigns lasted only a few months; the first one ended when Alaric believed it was hampering his negotiations with Honorius, and the second came to an end after he was abandoned by the Visigoths and eventually captured by Honorius' men. Attalus was obliged to participate in the triumph Honorius celebrated in the streets of Rome in 416, before finishing his days exiled in the Lipari Islands.
