Reseņa del editor
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. One of many sacks of Rome, that of the year 846 was the only instance of Muslims sacking the city.During the 8th and 9th centuries, Muslim Arabs (known by medieval Italians as the Saracens) had begun to aggressively expand into Southern Italy. These newcomers, sailing from their bases in North Africa, had conquered Sicily and had begun a steady attack of the peninsula.Under Pope Paschal I (817-824), all the spoils of the holy martyrs were transferred into the walls of the city. When Rome was finally sacked in 846, Paschal''s preparation did not prevent the spoliation of Basilica of Saint Peter itself, nor of another major basilica, San Paolo fuori le Mura, both of which were outside the ancient fortifications.
