When did the Roman Empire fall (your thoughts)?
#30
Quote:Why doesn't it begin with Decius, his unprecedented persecution of Christianity, and his unprecedented defeat and death at the hands of the Goths along with his son and co-emperor?

Well, Rome did revive pretty well by the end of the third century. Whereas from Constantine on, it was pretty much downhill.

Quote:People tend to forget that the Goths slayed three Roman emperors in battle.

Three? I knew of Decius.
