Roman Tales 15

Description
Book Introduction
There are as many historical books and studies discussing the decline of Rome as there are grains of sand on the beach, but except for those that can only be called absurd, all of them are somewhat correct.
If you collect them together, you can easily understand the factors that led to the decline of Rome.
But I didn't feel like spending my one and only life collecting other people's achievements.
So, in the last five volumes, I decided to focus on 'how' it declined rather than 'why' it declined.
The history of a country is similar to the life of a person.
If you want to know someone thoroughly, you have to follow them throughout their life from birth to death…
Today, textbooks around the world list 476 AD as the year the Western Roman Empire fell.
But no textbook, no authority on Roman history, speaks of the 'year' in which the Western Roman Empire fell, but not of the 'month' or 'day'.
The reason is simple.
Because I don't know.
However, if you count from 753 BC, the year of its founding, it fell 1,229 years later.
What a ridiculous end this is compared to the destruction of Carthage in 146 BC, 622 years earlier.
Rome lasted twice as long as Carthage, had an incomparably wider reach, and had a profound and profound influence on the countless people who lived there, yet it never had a "great moment."
It did burn.
But it wasn't burned by flames.
It was destroyed.
But it did not perish with the cruel Abigyuhuan.
It just passed away without anyone noticing, without even a 'great moment'.
