In 395 Diocletian had divided the Roman Empire into a Western Empire and an Eastern Empire. At that time the second of these was the more viable part.
The date generally accepted for the collapse of the Western Empire is 476, when the Germanic chieftain Odoacer took Ravenna (not that far from Venice) and overthrew Romulus Augustulus. Ravenna had been capital of the Western Empire since 402.
During the fourth century, various Germanic tribes, all referred to by the Romans as 'barbarians' moved in, occupying an increasing part of the Roman provinces. In the first decade of the fifth century, the last Roman legions left Britian. It was soon overrun by Picts and Scots from the north, and Angles and Saxons from Denmark and Germany. At the same time, the legions that fell back on Rome were unable to portect it. Rome was sacked by the Vandals in 455, and the last Roman emperor deposed in 476. By this time, most of the western empire had broken up and was under control of barbarian tribes.
The Eastern Empire (Byzantium) then regarded itself as *the* Roman Empire, Emperor Justinian's forces reconquered some areas of the Western Empire, in North Africa, Italy and the south of France. Then the spread of Arabs through the Middle East, North Africa and into Spain progressively alienated those areas and encroached into the heartland of the east. First the Seljuk Turks, then te Ottoman Turks took over the Middle East and Greece, with the Eastern Roman Empire shrinking to little more thant the city of Constantinople, which was taken and looted first by a Roman Catholic crusade, and finally by the Ottomans in 1453 CE, which was the real end of the Roman Empire as it is commonly known.
Some pretensions were made in the east from the Dark and Middle Ages with various Germanic kings from Charlemagne in 800 CE onwards calling themselves Holy Roman Emperor, finally extinguished by Napoleon I when he conquered Austria-Hungary and its Holy Roman Emperor Francis II in 1806, and in the east where both the Ottomans from conqueror Mehmet II on, then the Czars from Ivan III also pretended to the succession of the Roman Empire as the Third Rome.
