Sack of Rome: Vandals enter Rome, and plunder the city for two weeks.

The sack of Rome in 455 was carried out by the Vandals led by their king Gaiseric.

The Vandals were a Germanic people who were first reported in the written records as inhabitants of what is now Poland, during the period of the Roman Empire. Much later, in the fifth century, a group of Vandals led by kings established Vandal kingdoms first within the Iberian Peninsula, and then in the western Mediterranean islands, and North Africa.
