Around the fifth century, the internal affairs of the Western Roman Empire were corrupt, and the increasingly powerful Germanic national forces seriously threatened Rome.

Alaric, the most powerful visigoth king among the Germanic peoples, always wanted to capture Rome, but he was repeatedly defeated by Stirico, the general of West Rome. All roads lead to Rome.

The two sides fought for nearly fifteen years, and alaric was often defeated by Sterico;

Despite repeated battles and defeats, alaric never gave up.

In 407 AD, the western Roman emperor Honoriu destroyed the Great Wall and killed Sterico for treason.

Alaric, who was in Slovenia at that time, laughed when he heard the news that Stirico was killed: "Finally, no one can stop me from going to Rome."

When his general asked, "I wonder which way the king intends to go to Rome?"

King Visigoth smiled and said the famous saying: All roads lead to Rome.
