Quote:The "fall" of the Late Empire in the West was more of a slide than a fall. It didn't happen in just an afternoon, it took fifty years or so, and many of the people who lived at that time scarcely noticed, since they were busy with the matters of life and had little time for theorizing.

A lot of them couldn't help but notice, if they lived in places targeted by barbarians--and there were many besides Rome and Carthage. And while personal matters naturally were paramount, they must have wondered--where the heck is the army that was supposed to prevent this?? It may have occurred to some it was their own fault for not serving.
