User blog comment:The Milkman/What I learned from Skyrim/@comment-1786741-20111211032644/@comment-1332490-20111213082118

I mentioned the Roman empire because, it is the most famous empire and that most folks should know why the empire fell. I mentioned it because I thought The-Milkman was ignorent. The roman empire fell because it got too big for it self. They stopped expanding, and so did their supplies. The city just got poorer and poorer, leading to tight resources. It was just a matter of time, and during the mid-fifties, 400 years after Christ, the west empire fell. There are lot of reasons but this is the main reason. (We also have the slaves, soldiers, poor people, disease and new system with generals becoming Caesars)
