  • Essay On The Fall Of West Rome

    2274 Words  | 10 Pages

    The Fall of West Rome Despite being one of the largest, most successful empires in the world, the Roman Empire faced a multitude of major issues for centuries, a majority of which ultimately led to its downfall. An early solution to these problems was to divide the empire into the east and west. While it allowed East Rome to avoid some of these issues, West Rome continued to struggle and this division eventually contributed to its collapse. One of the main issues stemmed from the fact that Rome was built on imperialism, which meant they had to continuously expand to sustain itself, leading to several problems with overextension, wars, and a lack of resources.

    In Rome, much like in other areas of the world, there were specific times of day where people would dedicate themselves to eating. The times of day were similar to what is seen now in America, with a meal taking hold in the morning, midday, and evening.
