The "Sack of Rome" was accomplished by a man who was fully literate, spoke four languages fluently, and was collecting a debt he'd earned as a Roman mercenary that had been delayed by three *years*.
He sat outside the walls of Rome for six months telling them that if they didn't pay him what they owed him, he would sack the city and take it.
