About This Title
The Vandals took Rome’s treasures. Centuries later, the French borrowed their name—and made it an insult.
In this short video, I explore the sack of Rome in AD 455 and how “vandalism” entered the language more than 1,300 years afterward.
These connections are part of what keeps me digging into history—and finding inspiration for the world of Stiger’s Chronicles.
Enjoy the video, and let me know which corner of Roman history you’d like me to explore next!
