FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
POLITICAL AND MILITARY CORRUPTION
THEY HAD DIFFICULTY IN CHOOSING NEW EMPERORS
THEY NEVER HAD A SOLID SYSTEM FOR DOING SO, THEY SEEKED ASSISTANCE
PRAETORIAN GUARD TOOK AUTHORITY AND WAS LATER REWARDED
THERE WAS A NEW EMPEROR BUT THE ARMY STRANGLED HIM
DECLINE IN MORALS AND VALUES
GLADIATOR GAMES WERE CONSIDERED TO BE PLAIN BUTCHERY
THE EMPERORS NERO AND CALIGULA SPENT EXTRAVAGANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY ON LAVISH PARTIES
THE GROWTH IN THE ROMANS PASSION FOR CRUELTY
THEY HAD NO PROTECTION, JUST THEIR BARE SKIN WHICH WAS CONSIDERED TO BE WRONG
DIFFICULTY AND EXPENSE OF DEFENDING A LARGE NATION AGAINST INVADERS
CONSTANT ATTACKS FROM THE BARBARIANS PUT A STRAIN ON THE GOVERNMENT
FOR AN UNRELIABLE ARMY THEY HAD TO PAY VERY LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY
FAITH WAS LOST IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE
THE EMPERORS HAD TO CONSTANTLY RAISE TAXES
THE ECONOMY: INFLATION
ROMAN EMPERORS INCREASED THE SOLDIERS WAGE IN ORDER TO BUY THEIR LOYALTY
THE SILVER CONTENT OF THE COINAGE DECREASED
THE ECONOMY SUFFERED INFLATION BECAUSE THEY STOPPED CONQUERING NEW LANDS
LESS RESOURCES BUT STILL SPENT MUCH MONEY
IN RESULT THE MERCHANTS INCREASED THEIR PRICES
