This is a very complex question, and very large books have been written on it.  I would say these things did:\n\nCorruption of the hierarchy:  Roman emperors were all powerful, and could do anything they wanted.  How much time do you think went to running the empire if they could (and did) have massive parties all the time, and could spend massive amounts of tax money to build statues of themselves.\n\nDecline in moral values:  toward the end of the empire, many people were thieves and prostitutes, who add nothing to the structure of a society.\n\nDecline in public health:  Roman plumbing was made of lead, so it stands to reason that wealthy people who could afford plumbing (including emperors) were suffering from a degree of lead poisoning, makind them even more insane than before.\n\nUrban Decay:  Much like the inner citties of major American metropolitan areas, urban decay places a huge burden on the economics of a country by producing nothing and requireing welfare programs to keep its residents from rebelling.\n\nMassive Army Upkeep:  The Romans had to have a huge army to protect its borders and to quell unrest in the many unhappy country that really didn't want to be part of the empire.\n\nHope this helps...you will want to beef up the info I have given here with outside sources.

this is the explanation of the downfall of Rome. they kept expanding the amount the land they occupied, much like how Hitler took over Europe one country at a time.\nwhen they took over each country, they had to use their forces to keep the peace. but if that country wasn't earning them a profit (through taxes, produce, etc), they spent more on controlling it than it was worth, so the areas started going bankrupt. the rich countries had to support the poor countries, which meant hard times for everyone.\nas the areas started going belly-up one by one, the savages around swooped in. the closer they got to Rome, the easier it was to attack the capitol. eventually, the city of Rome was set on fire by a band called the Visigoths. that marked the official end of the empire.

Short answer: The Roman Empire was destroyed by rebellious barbarian peoples living WITHIN the empire, especially the Goths and Vandals.\n\nOver all, the Empire was a huge success story and went from strength to strength in civilizing the Western world. Many historians believe that there was no social and moral decline leading to a fall. The idea of decline and fall, they say, is a straw man (fake argument) based on later writer's sense of social standards. Like "Dude, those Romans were like so unrighteous that it was totally karma that they just like had to SO fall to pieces".\n\nWestern barbarians were forced into alliance with the empire because of pressure from the Huns. The empire's structure allowed for self-governance as long as you paid your taxes and sent recruits to the army. Tax revolt time!\n\nThe Goths rose up and crushed the Romans in the massive battle of Adrianople in 378. And then burglarized Rome in 410.\n\nThen the Vandals (sort of the old Carthaginian empire Part Deux) under old King Gaiseric built up ginormous naval power  and politely arranged to visit Rome in 455 and steal it blind (as agreed, no killing, no torture, no knocking down buildings). \n\nIn 468 the eastern empororer Leo suddenly realizd, "Hey those guys knocked down the whole west side of the empire, so go git em boys" and sent an armada (1,000 ships and 100,000 men) down south. Where the Vandals promptly destroyed the fleet and captured the army. So in 474 the empire said "okay you win" and signed a treaty of just one word: "Uncle!".\n\nPlague and back-and-forth battles with the Vandals, Goths, Franks and Lombards, plus civil wars and internal treachery pretty much made the empire give up the Western part of the  empire and stick to their knitting back in Constantinople where they lasted another 1,000 years.

"...since ancient times, the Rubicon River had marked the northernmost boundary of Rome proper. Across the boundary a Roman general could not go while at the head of his army. For such a man to lead his troops in battle gear into the heart of Rome was against one of the oldest laws on the Roman law books. It was treason."\n\nThus, Caesar was going south.

Fire.  You have already been explained the need to burn it.  If you are incapable of doing this through local ordinances or other reasons, then mail it or give it to a church to destroy for you.  Just go to a local pastor and tell him that you need help getting rid of it and you need help with the consequences of playing with it.  He'll be happy to help you.  Today is the day to do it.

Nahhh, if you check history. The troubles we're in now are a piece of cake. Look at World War One & Two, The great Plague, Various Famines, French Revolution, The Civil War. Attila The Hun. I think it was the 1700's when a single volcano erupted and the ash cooled the earth so much that it snowed in July in the USA..\n  My advice. Live a good life and don't worry about it.

They had 3 Punic Wars with Roman and lost every one.  Many Carthaginians died from starvation during the latter part of the siege, while many others died in the final six days of fighting. When the war ended, the remaining 50,000 Carthaginians (perhaps a tenth of the original pre-war population) were sold into slavery. \n\nThe city was systematically burned for somewhere between 10 and 17 days. Then the city walls, its buildings and its harbor were utterly destroyed and the surrounding territory was supposedly sown with salt to ensure that nothing would grow there again.

You could google it.\ngo to google and in the search bar type in:\n\nDiplodicus death: Cause\n\njust as it looks. Try other ways as well:\n\nCause of: Diploducus Death\n\nand you'll be surprised how many pages you get on that. However, the first page has the most rellavent searches, I suggest not bottering going to the other pages.

Caesar took horrible risk in his attempt to gain power.  When the high priest (pontifex maximus) died, Caesar stood for election to the post. He borrowed huge sums to bribe the voters. In 65 bc, he took his next step in the cursus honorum. He became aedile, he continued to run up his debts, putting on shows of unheard-of splendor. These included plays, public feasts, processions, and single combats between 320 pairs of gladiators. This made Caesar extremely popular with the masses, and at the height of his popularity he had the old statues of marius and the trophies of his victories gilded and set up again at the capitol, from which sulla had removed them. The large faction of marius, which had been dejected and leaderless without him, now began to see Caesar as their savior.\nCaesar became praetor in 62 bc, and shortly afterward he went out to govern the province of spain, where he fought a war against the native people. This war gave him his first experience of being a commander-in-chief, and a captured booty allowed him to path up his shattered finances. He returned to rome with only the highest office yet to win the consulship.\nCaesar served in spain during both his quaestorship and praetorship, but spain was just one of many roman provinces. in caesar’s lifetime, most of the lands surrounding the Mediterranean had been conquered, and by the time he died, this conquest was almost entirely completed.
