In 846 AD Arab raiders plundered the environs of Rome, including the Vatican, sacking Old St. Peter's and St. Paul's-Outside-the-Walls, but were prevented from entering the city itself by the Aurelian Wall. Rome has been sacked many times throughout its history; the attack of 846 is often referred to as the "Arab sack of Rome" to distinguish it from the others.
