2. Are We Rome? The book Are We Rome? by Cullen Murphy It talks about the fall of the great Roman Empire and compares it to the United States The book gives multiple reasons for the fall of Rome like barbarism and expansion It provides true historical documents and quotes from ancient Roman historians An excellent historical book on the Roman Empire

4. Stephen Sansom I interviewed Stephen Sansom (former Latin teacher, future college professor) Rome fell because its economics was based on expansion When Rome could no longer expand, they had no resources or slaves to keep the empire alive
5. Romano Expansio Roman Expansion I found this reason the most interesting for the fall of Rome because it was what Romans did best Roman Empire expanded too far and was no longer able to govern itself efficiently It also couldn’t protect its vast amounts of land

7. Why Rome Fell? In my opinion Rome fell because its empire was too large and it could no longer be governed effectively The far corners of the empire were slowly taken over by barbarians When Romans couldn’t conquer, their entire economic system collapsed
8. Make it Better I would have interviewed multiple experts in the classical field to get a better overall perspective on the topic I would have visited Rome itself to get a first hand experience
