Strombichides
Strombichides ( grc, Στρομβιχίδης) was an Athenian admiral and politician who lived during the late 5th century BC.

This empire had been ruled by a succession of weak emperors, with the real political might being increasingly concentrated among military leaders. Internal instability allowed a Visigoth army to reach and ransack Rome in 410. Some recovery took place during the following decades, but the Western Empire received another serious blow when a second foreign group, the Vandals, occupied Carthage, capital of an extremely important province in Africa.
