Deathblow to Western Roman Empire?
I've been reading about Rome lately and I'm curious at what point the Western Roman Empire became beyond saving? What was the death blow that led to its destruction? What is the latest date for it being able to survive intact?
I'll pick the execution of Stilicho in 408 as the deciding moment. Interested in your thoughts.
