TheVisigothsdid not invadeRome. The were allowed to settle in the lowerDanubearea of the Roman Empire byemperorValens in 376 AD. They had asked to be allowed to settle in the Roman Empire to escape the raids from the east by the Huns. They were allies of the Romans. Later, theirking Alaric I got into adisputewith the emperor of thewesternpartof the Roman empire, Honorius, and besieged Rome three times in 410 AD. On the third occasion he sacked the city. He then moved south, to Calabria (the toe ofItaly) where he died. The Visigoths then migrated tosouthwesternFrance and went back to being allies of the Romans.AlaricI did not intend to invade Rome. Historians think that he was disaffected because he expected to be made a general of the Roman army, but this did not happen.

Which empire led rome at the time of its conquest?

There was not an empire which led Rome and there was not a conquest of Rome. Rome had an empire: the Roman Empire. Although the invasions by the Germanic peoples led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, the city of Rome was never conquered. Ancient Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410 and by the Vandals in 455, but it was not conquered. Both Visigoths and Vandals withdrew after the sack. They did so before units of the Roman army from elsewhere in the Roman Empire would catch up with them.
