Text is in French. Original publisher's hand-colored map showing the eastern part of the Roman Empire between the years 100 and 410. Year 410 marks the Sack of Rome, when the Visigoths took over the Roman Empire's famed "eternal city." The Sack of Rome is considered a pivotal landmark in the fall of the Roman Empire.
