History Of Ancient Rome
By. Santino Marvin Anthony
Reasons for the Fall of Rome
The introduction of Christianity made Roman citizens more
pacifist so they were less involved in war and spent money
on churches instead of maintaining the empire.
The health of Roman citizens brought them down. Water
was brought threw lead pipes which made them more
vulnerable to lead poisoning. The continuous spread of
blood spread many diseases.
As Rome stopped conquering new lands their flow of gold
decreased. Since there was less gold their coins were less
valuable, and to make up for the lost value merchants
increased prices.
The continuous spending on military because of the
barbaric attacks drained the government. So there were not
able to spend any money on more needed resources, so the
empires were forced to raise taxes.
