Pagans at the time claimed that because the old gods were no longer worshiped they abandoned the empire to the barbarians (or, alternatively, punished the empire by sending the barbarians).
In more modern times, historians such as Gibbon with his monumental "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" claimed that in some unspecified way Christianity weakened the empire.
It is impossible to point to any one factor that led to the fall of the Roman Empire: slavery, civil war, economic problems, external factors that caused the barbarians to migrate, the fact that upper class citizens avoided the army, all seem to have played a more important part than the change of religion (unless, of course, the pagans were right after all!)
In fact, Emperor Constantine saw Christianity as a means of uniting the empire and strengthening it. In a way he was correct, because the city he founded endured for over a thousand years!
by beating the crap out of anyone who didnt agree with the law But seriously, the Romans governed their empire according to Roman laws and Roman custom. This was one of the secrets to their success. The empire was united under the same laws and provincials had certain legal rights and were able to use them.
if you want the names of the Roman emperors the list is endless. During the period between 27 BC and 395 AD there were 146 emperors. In 395 the western and eastern parts of the empire became separated. The western part lasted until 476 and had 23 more emperors. The eastern part lasted until 1453 and had 94 more emperors. If you want the name of the title of the emperors it was Augustus. After 641 the title of the Empeors of the Easter Roman Empire (which had also been called Byzantine Empire by historians, but not by the Romans) was basileus.

Ally: Ok i was searching this up too so i dont have the answer sorry.. but the person who answered that for you well they didnt even give you the answer they told you what happened in it not what happened when the empire fell.
The Roman Empire "fell" and became the Holy Roman Empire. Much of the strength of he Holy Roman Empire owes its beginings to Emperor Constantine who in 321 AD declared that he had seen a Cross over the noon sun. and heard a voice say, "Conquer with this." His immediate "conversion" resulted in him declaring all must woship Christ on Sunday, who had formerly worshiped the sun on Sunday. Christians and Jews who still observed the seventh day sabbath had been formerly put to death for worshipping on the Biblical sabbath of the 4th commandment, but now they began to see no distinction between worshiping on Sunday or the Sabbath. This resulted in much confusion and to this day the Roman church claims it is responsible for changing the day of worship to Sunday, even though it is not in the Bible. All the gods of the Roman pantheon were given the names of saints...ie, Venus is Mary, etc. And althought idol woship is forbidden in the 10 commandments the Roman churchs still has many images to this day which supplients believe have powers that are divine.
Yes, indeed roman girls did go to school. Wealthy or rich girls went to school at the age of seven. Poor girls didnt go to school. Wealthy girls learned how to spin, weave, and sew. j s v
