How many years passed between Rome's early days as a sleepy little statement and it's invasion in the 5th century CE?

Rome's early days as a small settlement began around 753 BCE, and it grew into a powerful republic and then an empire. By the 5th century CE, particularly with the fall of Rome in 476 CE, approximately 1,200 years had passed. This period saw Rome's transformation from a modest city to a dominant force in the Mediterranean world before its eventual decline and invasion.
