Second sack of Rome?[edit]

The article starts by saying, "The sack of 455 was the second of three sacks of Rome" - wasn't it the third - 1. 390 BC by Brennus, 2. 410, 3. 455? Maybe it was meant in more "modern" times, whereas the Brennus one was semi-mythical? Cornelius (talk) 03:41, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to Sack_of_Rome (disambiguation) it was third of six.

just for the sake of readability[edit]

can we stick to one version of geiseric's name, whichever is the preferred?
