The Visigoths were one of two main branches of the Goths who played a crucial role in the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. They settled in modern-day Spain and were heavily influenced by Roman culture while maintaining their own traditions. In 410 CE, under their king Alaric I, they famously sacked Rome, marking a significant moment in history.nnTheir mythology and culture were heavily influenced by Christianity, and they played a crucial role in the spread of Arian Christianity across Western Europe.
