The "Sack of Rome" was accomplished by a man who was fully literate, spoke four languages fluently, and was collecting a debt he'd earned as a Roman mercenary that had been delayed by three *years*.
He sat outside the walls of Rome for six months telling them that if they didn't pay him what they owed him, he would sack the city and take it.
They didn't pay what they owed. So he took it.
