ApenninesThis mountain was the mountain that prevented invasions from the eastern population.
The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a process. Many factors contributed to this. The main one was the invasions by Germanic peoples (Vandals, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians). This part of the empire crumbled under the weight of these invasions. It lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurpations. The Romans were unable to respond to the invasions. Within some eighty years all the lands of this part of the empire were lost. Many historians think that prior to the fall of this part of the empire there was a decline of the Roman Empire as a whole.
Rome initially acquired Sicily which is located outside of Italy, after the First Punic Water during the period of 241 BCE.
The invasions of the Roman Empire were carried out by Germanic peoples who lived north of the western part of the Roman Empire and were seeking new lands further south. Being further east, the eastern part of he Roman Empire was not affected by these migratory movements. However, over time after the fall of the western part , this part of the empire was suffered invasions (by the Arabs, Slavs and Turks) and eventually lost all of its lands.
Initially the Romans gave Roman citizenship to elite men of the conquered peoples who were loyal to Rome. Then in 215 AD the emperor Caracalla extended Roman citizenship to all the freeborn (that is, all except the slaves) in the empire.
