In the west? There wasn't any. The western Roman empire collapsed in the 5th century, while the Vikings didn't turn up until the 9th century.

The legend in the page you linked, about Björn Ironside's capture of Luni, supposedly dates to cAD860. The last Roman emperor was deposed nearly 400 years before that. The Vikings would have been invading the Frankish Kingdom of Italy, not the Roman Empire.
