Why might a city request money from the national government?

to repair a bridge on an interstate highway that ran through the city
to purchase new seats for the city council chambers
to loan money to local people who wanted to start a new business
to pay a debt to the local government for city beautification

well this is going to be a long answer lol ok so the visigoths were a branch of the goths who frequently raided rome, uh the hunas attacked the guptas a lot and weakened them, uuhm of course the romans used math and science in there every day lives i mean they had a whole empire to run, and rome was split into east and west by a general named diocletian. hope this you! : )
