One reason that was very important to the decline of of the western roman empire was Constantine's death. The rest of the Fourth century there was no successful leader. With a bad economic problem with social problems on the taxes, which people were not be able to pay the taxes from the tax collector which fell to economic failure and people did not no what to do because there was no one setting an example or making rules for the empire. The next reason was the Invasions especially the Barbarian invasions. In the 3rd and 4th century the northern East migrated to Germany which pushed to the The Germanic and Dacian tribes. Then many tribes asked permission to be defended by the Romans. Another reason was the Splitting of the Empire. As it was so large the empire was split into two The Eastern and Western. It was like two nations and they were both weakened in ways that would hard to overcome. There was a bad location where they were located geography and that did not help. When the Germans took control in a way that the Romans had no money left. Money was a big factor, another problem that happened was the money supported the temples of Roman Gods to Christians. The Emporor funded buildings all over the World which was not a good idea, and because of that they lost money. "The Visogothic gain at the expense of Rome was followed by by other migrations of Germanic peoples into the
Empire ".
That was not good because The Germans would be covered by the Romans. Also as Theodosius died he left his two sons to follow him in divided empire. The never ending war with the Persians was the hardest challange or problem. They marched through Syria as well. As Constantinopele Set foot on the eastern empire he would not let anyone hurt it. But the Germans took over the western empire and they occupied large areas in the western empire. More and more tribes entered Rome and took over with soldiers.
