Rome was a great civilization,but it failed. Guess why?

We traveled traveled through Europe and North Africa when we lived there.
My favorite place in all of our travels was Pompeii. The most fascinating place I'd ever imagined. Viewing people's homes exactly like they left them or died in them so many centuries ago.
It still is a place of great interest and provides a physical presence into history instead of just reading about it in a book.
