 At its height, the Roman Empire
stretched from the Atlantic
Ocean all the way to the
Euphrates River in the Middle
East, but its grandeur may have
also been its downfall.
The decline of Rome dovetailed
with the spread of Christianity,
and some have argued that the
rise of a new faith helped
contribute to the empires fall.
Even as Rome was under attack
from outside forces, it was also
crumbling a severe financial
crisis.
A decline in agriculture also
weakened the Empire
The fate of western Rome was
partially sealed in the third
century
If Romes sheer size made it
difficult to govern, ineffective
and inconsistent leadership
only served to magnify the
problem.

The Roman empire stretched all the
way from the Atlantic Ocean to the
Middle East, because it was so big
they werent able to control such
large amounts of land, thus leading
to fall.
The Roman Empire fell because
most of the citizens of Rome
converted into Christianity.
The Romans were being attacked
from a powerful force.
Throughout Italy and Europe the
soil became difficult to use due to
warfare and overuse, thus leading
to poor harvesting and decline in
agriculture
The Romans were sealed away
It was difficult for the government
