Urban decay in Rome truly set in during the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. Rome ceased to be a significant city at the political level. It retained a spiritual role as the seat of the bishop of Rome (the pope). Rome was badly affected by a sack by the Vandals who seized many slaves in 455. In the 6th century Italy was devastated by the Gothic War between the Visigoths who ruled Italy and the Byzantines, during there were many casualties in Italy and Rome was sacked again. It population fell to 35,000 inhabitants and the centre of habitation moved the the Campo Martius area, the present day city centre. The area of ancient Rome was abandoned and lid laid in ruins.

Rome fell into decay with the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. It decayed further when he popes moved to France (Avignon Papacy, 1309-1377). When they returned to Rome they started rebuilding Rome and turned it into a monumental city.
