At that time Rome only had 6,000 troops, when Alaric has 40,000 troops. The emperor was a weak emperor, He wasn't intelligent either, so what he did was he send them out to battle.

    • Mark Ramos
       
      Constantine was a bit selfish during his time ruling the eastrn part of the empire. He wanted to rule all of Rome. He only ruled the eastern when he wanted to control the western as well. He was the only emperor in the eastern part, but in the western there was two emperors, Licinius, and Dia. He wanted to make friends with Licinius the stronger one. He completed the task, and he offered his sister to him to make sure he would'nt kill him. Then he told him if he kills Dia he will be the only one in charge. What Licinius doesn't know is, after Dia is killed, then Constantine will kill Licinius. Making him rule all of Rome.
