Fall of Rome, read fall of the Roman Empire
Roman Empire expired due to combination of several factors.
1. Constantine split the empire into two
2. Making Christianity the official religion.
3. The provinces became indefensible.
4. Subsidization of food.
5. Diminishing the power of the Senate.
6. Graft.
7. Loss of drive to remain great.
8. Growing military sophistication of so-called barbarians
Not necessarily in that order.
