  1. Four were the causes of fall of ancient world: 1) the epidemic disease, destroying the manpower of empire; 2) the pressure of germanic nations, becoming more organized and dangerous; 3) climatic change (a little global worming); 4) civil wars, as a result of military inefficiency of imperial centralism.

  5. So they started giving the barbarians land in return for the services, this meant that Romans were losing land and revenue as more eand more land was given to away, increasingly Roman Emperors in the fifth century were simply puppets of the strongest barbarian King, with less and less of revenue the Western Roman Empire simply started to collapse on itself, the Eastern Empire flourished though, because it didn't have the military and economic burdens that the West had.

  6. Resources ran out in Rome, because the Romans were losing territory, and that only happened in the 5th century, not over several. This loss of land meant there was less money and less and less food. Thge loss of land was caused byt the breaking up of the Eastern and Western halves of the Empire, without the East, the West didn't have the money to fund their wars against the barabarians properly, so they started hiring barbarians to be soldiers; but they didn't have money to pay them.

  9. WTF again. What Roman Empire is doing in this movie-I cannot fathom. Rome did NOT collapse becuase of enviromental pressure it created. And for the Mayans and rest-they did not knew what they were doing and what effects it is going to have. Besides their technology level was static. We on the other hand not only know about those effects, we also have rapid tehcnological development. So how both situations can be compared?

  10. roughly the 1000s. Rome’s largely Germanic troops were actually paid in gold and silver. The origin of the word “solider” comes from the name of the gold coin in which late Roman troops were paid, “solidus”. Rome survived in the East because of its ability to fund an army and to harvest grain to feed it, via Thrace and Egypt. Simple geography also prevented it from being invaded from the West. The Byzantines maintained a respectable navy and crossing an army into Asia Minor

  11. tax revenue to combat the Hunnic threat. After Atilla’s death, Rome possessed no monetary ability to fund a proper standing army. Therefore, it was essential to recapture the long lost North Africa. But fortune didn’t spread her legs and the combined Western and Byzantine fleet was destroyed by Geiseric, crushing any hope of a revival of the Western Empire. Roman currency was pretty strong actually. The coin issued by Constantine “solidus” was in use in Western Europe until

  12. The Western Empire really had its last chance in retaking North Africa during the reign of Anthemius. North Africa was the breadbasket of the Western Empire and its tax revenues fueled the Roman military machine. After the Vandals rampaged through most of North Africa and took Carthage in the early 430s, the Roman military machine was deprived of its grain and funding. When all hell broke loose during the 440s with Atilla sweeping through Gaul and Italy, Rome exhausted every

  13. yes all u said is true PLUS+++ the romans were invaded by germanic barbarians like the huns and visigoths and they couldnt afford to keep bribing them, just like obama trying to “bribe” the mexicans here.

  14. The roman empire fell because they spread their empire … in doing so they had to support the troops required .. now in order to do that they stopped using silver and gold in their coins and expanded their troops even larger because now they could do so … after that the over minting of their coins caused inflation and thus was a big part of the collapse (fall) of Rome .. sound familiar? the U.S. is doing it now ..

  15. the roman empire collapsed because they were overrun by germanic tribes, not only because they couldnt get enough grain and economic problems,.

  16. This is subtle propaganda for the New World Order. They attempt to prepare us mentally for their next phase. Kill the rich – Feed the poor – Off the man!

  17. I say we dare to stand up together, make a revolution, and kill the greedy rich elite bastards who don't even CARE about 3/4th of the world's population!
    kill & eliminate the root cause.
    together we certainly CAN.
