Why Did Rome Fall

Rome did go through a rough time towards its end. This city of marble, as Augustus Caesar had said, had turned into a city mold and spread diseases causing millions of people to die. Rome did not have a purpose, people had thought and they became lazy and less caring about their environment. Forgery of money, excess of violence, and overflow of slaves were some of the problems that led to Rome’s fall. But the biggest problem was Rome’s government, which didn't do as much like before to change these crises and instead thought that some money,food, or type of entertainment would help, and the only thing this did was distract people of how Rome was slowly coming to an end. All of Rome’s problems usually led to its government for instance, the barbarian attacks succeeded because of Rome’s struggle in the army, and farmers left their jobs and became homeless so the government could give them money and food to live on and because of this “handout” more and more people stopped working, became lazy, and there was no food supply. But there was more to Rome than just its fall.

But way before it’s fall Rome achieved many great things.

One Rome’s biggest legacies was its architecture. The Colosseum played a big part in history it was a fighting arena for ships and gladiators, it still is standing today in modern Rome,Italy. Another great architecture created by the Romans was the Aqueduct. It was made out of lead and traveled water from place to place all over to Roman citizens. Even though very little of the people in Rome went to school their Latin language is a long living legacy that most scientific words and mottos are written in. The Art that Romans created with mosaics,sculptures,busts,and wall paintings was unique and told us a lot about their empire, ways of living, and people. The. Roman Law was to keep everything organized and helped people know what was right or wrong, and the most known/used part of the Roman Law was that a person was innocent until proven

guilty.
All of these amazing legacies and achievements didn’t just help Rome but it influenced us here and all around the worlds. Our government today is based on the Romans republic where everything is fair. Our Aqueducts are used just like the Romans, but they aren’t made out of lead. Aqueduct is actually based of Latin root words, (Latin agua + ducere, “to lead water”) and many of our other English words, but mostly in all the romance languages. The Romans art are basically masterpieces and inspiration to all the artists that try to creatively recreate art in their own way which inspires the younger generation to succeed. If it wasn’t for the Roman’s hard work and achievements we would be nowhere today.
