Certainly! The Roman Empire faced attacks and invasions by various groups throughout its history, especially during its decline in the later centuries. The main groups that attacked the Roman Empire include: 1. **Visigoths** – Sacked Rome in 410 AD under Alaric. 2. **Ostrogoths** – Took control of Italy after the fall of the Western Empire. 3. **Vandals** – Crossed into North Africa, founded a kingdom, and sacked Rome in 455 AD. 4. **Huns** – Led by Attila, invaded Roman territories in the mid-5th century. 5. **Franks** – Invaded Gaul and later established a kingdom there. 6. **Alans** – Allied with other groups in attacks, settled in Gaul and Hispania. 7. **Suebi (Suevi)** – Established a kingdom in Hispania. 8. **Burgundians** – Settled in areas of modern-day France and Switzerland. 9. **Saxons** – Raided Roman Britain and later invaded. 10. **Angles and Jutes** – Also invaded Britain as Roman control weakened. 11. **Lombards** – Invaded Italy in the 6th century after the fall of the Western Empire. 12. **Sassanid Persians** – Eastern adversaries who fought against Rome in the east. 13. **Berbers and Moors** – In North Africa, particularly in the later Empire. **Note:** Many of these groups were often described as "barbarians" by the Romans, and several were Germanic tribes.
