Primary sources for description of barbarian assaults

Recommended Posts

OK last week I was specifically asking about the sack of Rome in 410 AD. Now, I'm basically looking for primary sources on any sack, or even not one sack in particular, but on their devastating effect (I'm thinking primarily of late 300s/400s). So far I've come across:

 

Jerome's Letter 60 (to Heliodorus), and Salvian's writings.

 

Does anything else come to mind?

 

If you would like to see the type of material I'm interested in, you can see comments from Jerome and Salvian on pages 1 and 2 of this document:

 

Start of the Middle Ages
