Answer
Theodosius I allowed the Goths to settle within the Roman empire in 382 AD, as a way to prevent them from attacking the empire. However, this decision ultimately caused problems for succeeding emperors, as the Goths were not loyal to the empire and frequently rebelled. For example, in 410 AD, the Goths sacked Rome, which was a major blow to the empire.
