서로마의 마지막 희망이었던 스틸리코.
로마의 유산들.
Stilicho, the half-barbarian, half-Roman general, did hisbest to protect Rome from the barbarian invaders. He fought the Visigoths for years. But the Romans executed him because they thought he wasn‘t doing his best for Rome.
They shouldn‘t have! Stilicho was the only general who could keep the Visigoths away from Rome. Only two years after Stilicho‘s execution, the Visigoths finally marched all the way down through Italy to the city of Rome itself. - P307
Even though the ancient Roman Empire is gone, we use the words, inventions, and ideas of the Romans all the time.
So, in a way, Rome will never completely disappear. The gifts that the Romans gave to us are still with us today. - P314
