minus-squareCyberEgglinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 month agoThat is not really how rome “fell” (if you even need it to fall") and this painting is a catastrophic misrepresentation of the “fall” of Rome. And whil you can argue a lot about how Rome fell, at the very least it definetly it was not a few or even a single event in a short period of time.

XD
