Rome fell because it lost control of its borders and allowed too many barbarians to enter illegally, it spent money it didn't have and tried to make up the difference by printing more, it tried to impose a pax romana on the rest of the world through force of arms, and it tried to maintain a welfare state and keep the populace happy with bread and circuses. Furthermore, it became possible to purchase a seat on the Roman senate. Given such decadance, it is no wonder the empire fell apart. Isn't it a good thing that we've learned from the mistakes of the Romans?
