Can’t you get this into your head - Rome didn’t fall in 476 AD, it didn’t collapse them. All that happened was the the entire empire fell once more under ONE Augustus - Emperor Zeno who sat in Constantinople.


WESTERN ROME

Can't you get it into your head -- you see the map up there? It's what was the Western Roman Empire in 500 AD. And all those colored parts under the Visigoths, etc. acknowledged themselves as part of the Roman Empire and under the One August - Emperor Zeno.

there was no collapse - Gibbon's propaganda has been long disproved.

Now go and learn something before bringing up non-historical statements
