                Notes

    The term vandalism comes from the word "Vandal" -- one of the
several groups of Teutonic tribes who helped to destroy the Roman
Empire.
    In 455, the king of Vandals occupied Rome. Looting continued for 14
days and large numbers of valuable things were said to have been
destroyed.
