Orestes flees to the city of Pavia,…
August 476 CE
Orestes flees to the city of Pavia, where the city's bishop gives him sanctuary within the city walls.
Despite the protection he receives from the bishop, Orestes is forced to flee for his life when Odoacer and his men break through the city defenses and ravage the church, stealing all the money that the bishop had collected for the poor and razing many of the city buildings to the ground.
