This essay attempts to disqualify the date of 410, when Alaric sacked Rome, as a significant event in the history of art. It forms part of a much longer investigation of periodicity and its boundaries, especially with the respect to the nature of Late Antique art, ambivalently at the end of an artistic tradition and at the beginning of another.
