Rome is also pretty far from the sea, which was well guarded too so it wasnt easy. In 370AD though, Constantine moved the capital of the Roman empire from Rome to Constantinople (Istanbul). With the capital went the emperor, the legionares, the senate, and all of the body guards and protective solders who went with them. Years after, the city was weak and vulnerable, most of the residents still lived in Rome and many merchants as well, like gold, silk, ivory, and spice merchants.
