DECLINE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
8 REASONS WHY ROME EVENTUALLY FELL:
1. Invasions by Barbarian tribes
2. Economic troubles (widening gap between rich and
poor) and overreliance on slave labor (slaves
diminishing in #)
3. The rise of the Eastern Empire (2 halves drifted
apart. Greek half grew wealth, and western half
grew poor.)
4. Overexpansion and military overspending
5. Government corruption and political instability
6. The arrival of the Huns and the migration of the
Barbarian tribes
7. Christianity and the loss of traditional
values…rampant sexual perversity on the rise.
Assault to structure of the family.
8. Weakening of the Roman legions

• Some scholars believe that rampant lead poisoning may
have contributed to Ancient Rome’s decline. Roman
winemakers used lead pots to boil crushed grapes, the
empire’s aqueducts carried water through lead pipes and
many Roman foods were sweetened with lead acetate.
Since lead is toxic, some historians have claimed that its
use may have resulted in widespread cases of gout, low
birth rates, anemia and aggressive and erratic behavior
among the Roman citizenry.
