Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
Alaric (c. 370-410)Visigothic king 395-410 who campaigned against the Romans in the Balkans and Italy. On 24 August 410 he captured and sacked Rome. After three days he led the Goths south, intending to invade Sicily and then Africa, but died of a sudden illness. Alaric was buried in the bed of the river Busento in southern Italy. The river was diverted to allow him to be buried, then redirected to flow over the grave. Those who worked on the burial were killed so that his final resting place would never be known.
