Description


In the dwindling light of a setting sun, the once-majestic city of Rome lay in ruin, her beauty marred by the flames of treachery and war. German Landsknechts, alongside Spanish and Italian mercenaries, emerged from the inferno, their armor stained with the evidence of their deeds. For weeks, the Eternal City had withstood their relentless fury, its streets echoing with the clash of steel and the cries of the vanquished.

The horde had surged through Rome’s venerable gates with the ferocity of a tempest, driven by greed and a lust for the spoils of the Vatican. They had ravaged the heart of Christendom, leaving a once-proud metropolis bowed in ashes. The smoke of destruction ascended towards the heavens, a somber testament to the fall of greatness.

As they departed, the ravagers cast one last glance over their shoulders, their eyes not reflecting the glory of victory, but the hollow emptiness of conquest. The sack of Rome was complete, but it was a triumph tainted by the blood of the innocent and the tears of a civilization.
