Here are some other reasons why the Roman Empire fell:

- Economic problems. With a halt to the empire's expansion and the pirates' disruption of trade, the supply of slaves and war treasures significantly declined, leading to a serious labor deficit. Besides, wars and overspending had lightened imperial coffers, while the oppressive taxation drove many of the wealthy classes to the countryside to set up independent fiefdoms.
- The gap between the Western Empire and the Eastern Empire. Instead of cooperating against outside threats, the two halves gradually drifted away and often quarreled over resources and military aid. The rise of the Eastern Empire also diverted invasions to the vulnerable West, speeding its fall.
- Political instability and corruption. The civil war caused chaos in the leadership of the empire, with 20 emperors in only 75 years and many of them assassinated. The Roman Senate also failed to help with the situation due to its own widespread corruption and incompetence.
- Weakening of military. During the decline, foreign mercenaries were hired to make up for the lack of soldiers from the Roman citizenry. This leads to armies that had little loyalty to the empire and would even turn against the empire in the hunger for power.
- Revolt of the Goths. While the empire allowed members of the Visigoth tribe invaded by the Huns into Roman territory, they were treated with extreme cruelty. The empire had created a dangerous enemy within its borders, which contributed to Barbarian attacks on it.
