The Visigoths, following their sack of Rome …
Years: 388 - 531
The Visigoths, following their sack of Rome in 410, eventually coexist peacefully with the Romans, farming and trading agricultural products and enslaved people for luxury goods.
They adopt many elements of Roman culture, some becoming literate in Latin.
The Western Roman Empire wields negligible military, political, or financial power by the time that the barbarian general Odoacer deposes the Emperor Romulus in 476, and has no effective control over the scattered Western domains that still describe themselves as Roman.
The Western Empire's legitimacy will last for centuries and its cultural influence remains today, but it will never have the strength to rise again.
