Attila invaded Italy in the following year, but he withdrew soon after. In 455, however, Rome was again sacked, this time by the Vandals under Genseric (Gaiseric). Valentinian had come to the throne as a child, and until about 440 the actual ruler was his mother, Galla Placidia. He never really ruled himself, and in 454 he killed Ae'tius, the one strong figure in the the Western Empire. He himself was killed by Ae'tius' guards.
The distances between units were approximately the same as those between the corresponding units of an advance guard. In the case of a division, one or two miles lay between the main body and the reserve, 1,000 yards between the reserve and the support, 500 yards between the rear party and the point, and about four or five miles between the point • of the infantry and that of the rear cavalry. Rear guards were often stronger than advance guards when a force retreating- from the enemy needed time to reorganize.
