In this video, we shall explore the collapse of the border defenses of the western Roman Empire in the 430s-470s AD, and how life must have been during these dark times. Luckily, the monk Eugippius has written an extensive account, the Vita Sancti Severini, in 511 AD, that tells the tale of the Saint Severin, and his doings in Raetia and Noricum of those times. We learn how life was in these last decades of the western Empire, that it really was an apocalypse, and that the people living there during those times, suffered greatly from repeated barbarian invasions.
