The 5th century, from 401 to 500, brought enormous changes to Rome, and to the rest of Western Europe. The city was sacked by Goths in 410 and Vandals in 455. In 476, Romulus Augustulus, the last western emperor, was deposed by Odoacer. The Senate continued to control the city; the Pope was usually elected among members of the senatorial families.
