Fall of Rome

You were trying to piece together moments from history but wasn’t romes downfall in tune with their gain in gladiatorial matches. They just went to that and concerned themselves greatly in the coliseum spending many man hours doing it. Not worrying about legitimate things anymore.  Well that and their over extended military that pissed off the rest of the world. 

That's the other thing that gets me TO'd, people talking about the fall of Rome, Berlin Constaninople, et al.  These cities didn't fall, just the beliefs.  Rome is still there, the romans are all over the world still.  Their are relics from those ages all over the place.  There are never falls, only transitions.
