Around the fifth century, the power of the Western Roman Empire began to decline, and the increasingly powerful Germanic nation threatened Rome.
Among them, alaric, the visigoth king of the Germanic ethnic group, was young and promising, and always longed to occupy West Rome.
Helpless, he was repeatedly defeated by the west Roman general Sterico; But he never gave up.
The two sides have been at war for nearly fifteen years, and alaric is often defeated by Sterico. It is hard for us to imagine what kind of pain and loss he experienced. But he never gave up in these fifteen years.
Those who are good at losing will win in the end. In 407 AD, the Western Roman emperor killed Sterico for treason. Alaric, who was in Slovenia at that time, decided to conquer the Western Roman Empire after learning that Sterico had been killed. When his general asked, "I wonder which way the king intends to go to Rome?" Visigoth Wang Xiaotian famously said: All roads lead to Rome.
The original saying is "All roads lead to Rome", which is a proverb from Roman allusions. It means there are thousands of ways to do one thing, just like there is more than one way in life. This sentence encourages us, as long as we persist in doing one thing, no matter what method we use, we will succeed in the end.
