There were many different causes for the fall of the Roman empire, not just one. The Roman Empire was very strong, but eventually broke down over time for a multitude of reasons. Most of those reasons had to do with changes in Rome’s identity. Some of these changes in Rome’s identity led to the fall of Rome because they were so sudden; only portions of the Roman population were prepared for the change. Other times, citizens got into arguments because they were, in a way, too prepared.
I agree that Rome was not overthrown by external enemies but was defeated by its own internal problems. The fall of Rome was mainly due to internal problems because the Romans were only fulfilling their own needs, the law were not reliable and the struggle with the right emperor led to the end of Rome. These internal problems made the empire unstable and led to external problems. For example, in document C, Marcellinus, a Roman soldier criticizes the Romans for being selfish and only worrying about themselves.
Reasonable and noble concepts on the surface, however, were underlying with their own contempt for the Senate and optimate party. What could be seen on one side as an attempt to rectify a dangerous and debilitating social system was viewed on the other as nothing more than a power grab and a flagrant attack on the Republican institutional ideas of the time.

As ambition and personal motivation became the predominant theme of the Late Republic, the social fabric that long-held Rome together, against all odds, was being torn apart due to the reforms that were set in

Individuals were impeached and removed from office before, however, President Andrew Johnson was the first president to be impeached.

The argument presented here is that Augustus did not destroy the Republic. His use of his powers and his positions were within the Republican framework of the time – even if, on occasions, at its accepted margins. Through the use of the Republic’s mechanisms he consolidated his powers as leader. He brought about peace and security to Rome thus secured its future and ensured that it could function as the world power of its time. However, through his actions he brought about an evolutionary change in the way that Rome viewed and accepted its way of government – a single point of focus to a sole individual, even if legally not the sole leader.
The Tarquins feared the power the Plebs had to overturn them and their dynasty of kingly rule and create a new government, which they did. What the plebs that dethroned the Tarquins did not know, though, was that this fear the kings had for them was the only thing keeping them safe and protected from mistreatment of their government. There was a period of peace and tolerance in Rome at the start of the republic, as the government had not yet discovered that they were not required to treat the public with such dignity. They had a much lower chance of being overthrown and thus were not scared of popular rebellion, so they began to capitalize on that knowledge by treating the Plebs of the republic with increasing distaste at every turn.

Rome fell on a basis of not a singular reason, but multiple. Yet these are many aspects that make it up, whether they range from Rome’s many corrupt emperors to the invaders such as the Huns.

According to Schaeffer (2005), “The Greeks and later the Romans also tried to build a society upon their Gods” (p. 21). Unfortunately, with these gods being a mere higher extension of themselves, and people witnessing the malice in them, it became difficult for the people to accept them as something of infinite value or goodness. Consequently, Rome’s downfall began with a crippled worldly predisposition, the lack of wisdom, and its coldhearted leaders that were egotistical, self-absorbed, and lacking the ability to see a grander world view that was needed to bring civilization to a progressive state.
Franz Schubert is a 31-year old Austrian composer who has been recently diagnosed with typhoid fever and a stage of syphilis. Schubert first began the battle with his illness when he started to suffer from headaches and skin rashes. A while later, he began losing his hair in small patches.

The Celts were there when the Romans arrived in AD 43 and stayed in the island for almost four centuries. However, after being in total control of the province of Britannia, the Romans had to withdraw due to different reasons.
