Rome, Italy 2A 

ITL 2A Northern Italy invaded by The Franks    

Rome, the heart and center and greatest of crossroads of the whole Western Civilization origins and history. It all happened here. The ebbs and flows of world power... right here.Rome was an empire that ruled the world, and there were invading army's that invaded and defeated the empire... many times throughout history. The Visigoths, The Gauls(they had a lot of Gaul), The Hordes, The Huns, The vandals, and of course.... The Franks.

circa ?488 ~ 548?   Northern Italy invaded by The Franks   

Rome was sacked by the Army of "The Franks" where every soldier in the army was named Frank.

That would be: Frank Traywick 
               Frank Pledger
               Frank Tanner
               Frank Burnett
               Frank Morris

You get the idea. 

Or The Franks could be identified by their town.

Frank of Venice 
Frank of Florence
Frank of Bologna 
Frank of Cullman
Frank of Jasper 
Frank of Mooseport 
Frank of Ashville 

and some families surnames of Frank, most notably Anne Frank that wrote a diary.   


A progressive Frank, Frank of Kudzu Shores, got innovative and named his Son "Franco" ; they burned him at the stake. 


Frank of Nazareth,... overturned the money tables at the cathedral,... a week later they nailed him to a tree.  Threatening the 1% back then had consequences. 


You never drink twice from the same stream.
