Leo and two others were selected to negotiate, each eminent for rank, talents, experience, and ad- dress. The clerical appearance, deportment, and elo- quence of the bishop are said to have produced a sen- sible impression upon the barbarians ; with which also his own peculiar circumstances co-operated to give success. His subjects were not universally idolaters, for many Christians had been carried away by the Goths from the Roman provinces in the latter part of the fourth century, from whom t...hey had gained some knowledge of the gospel. From these, Ulphilas had descended, who had translated portions of the Scrip- tures into their language, and been held by them in the highest estimation. With Genseric, the king of the Vandals, though a Christian, Leo was less successful. Invited by the injured Eudoxia, from the coasts of Africa, he crossed to the Tiber, and sacked Rome fourteen days, without opposition. The bishop acted a noble part, going forth with his clergy to meet him, he saved much ei- fusion of blood, but only obtained milder terms for the suffering citizens.
