For centuries, Rome ruled vast territories with unmatched military discipline, administrative rigor, and cultural influence. Yet by the 5th century, the empire that once seemed unstoppable fractured under pressure from within and without. Twilight of the Eternal City presents a research-driven, expert-level examination of the true causes behind the fall of the Roman Empire-far beyond simplified tales of "barbarians at the gates."This analytical narrative dissects the intertwined political, economic, military, and social dynamics that eroded stability across centuries. Through primary-source evaluations, archaeological findings, demographic studies, and modern historiographical debates, the book illuminates how corruption, overexpansion, civil conflict, shifting trade networks, climate stress, and foreign incursions collectively pushed Rome past its breaking point.Crafted for professionals and serious scholars, the text emphasizes evidence, complexity, and competing interpretations rather than easy conclusions. Each chapter offers clear, research-oriented insights into how systemic decay operates within large states-lessons that continue to resonate in discussions of geopolitical decline today. Step into the final chapters of an empire and uncover how a civilization that reshaped the world ultimately collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions.
