Imagine you're the king of a giant toy kingdom. Everyone loves you, and your toys are super strong. But one day, you start fighting with people who live far away, your toys break down, and your friends get tired of giving you all their candy. That's what happened to Rome, it was powerful, but eventually, things went wrong.
Examples
- The Roman soldiers used to be loyal, but over time, they became more interested in money than fighting for Rome.
- Rich Romans got richer while poor ones struggled with high taxes, causing anger across the empire.
