Do you mean fall of Rome (empire) or fall of Rome (republic)?

Fall of Rome’s republic was deliberate and for personal gain / profit.

Edit:

And I’m not saying it’s a one-to-one comparison, like a bad sequel film.. I’m saying that it’s comparable at a layer of abstraction. The fall of two large “empires” with a ton of influence on the world.





fair point.
