This is the conventional date for the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire because in that year the last Roman emperor in the west was deposed. The eastern part of the Roman Empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years.
The sacking of Rome by the Goths and the banishing of the last claimant to the the throne in 476 AD is the date given as the fall of the Western Roman Empire. This also marks the end of Classical Antiquity and the start of The European Middle Ages.

There is no precise date for the fall of the Roman empire. The demise of the mighty civilization was a very gradual process from an abundance of factors. At one time, the empire was split in half, the eastern and western Roman empire. To best answer your question, the western Roman empire (in Europe), in which in large part has influenced the western world the most, fell in the 5th century for an appropriate estimate. Just remember: since the Roman Empire became an empire from the transition from a republic (in about B.C. 33), everything began to slide downhill. The empire itself was a major factor to Rome's fall.
No particular event can possibly mark 1,000 years of history. The history of this Empire actually lasted about 1,170 years. This figure refers to the fact that this empire lasted for another 1000 years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Historians use the term Byzantine Empire for the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The term is derived from Byzantion, the name of Greek city that was renamed Constantinople. It is used to indicate the fact that after it lost most of its non-Greek territories, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character. In 620 (ca. 140 year after the fall of the west) Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire.
The Roman empire was preceded by a 500-year-old Roman Republic. The Empire was founded by Julius Caesar's appointment as perpetual dictator (of the republic) in (44 BC). The first emperor was Octavian (Augustus Caesar) and the empire continued (and divided into an east and west part) for several hundred years. The Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476 AD and the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire ended in 1453 AD with the death of Constantine XI and the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks.--------------------------------------------------------------------The Roman Empire came into complete being around 27 BC. The Western Roman Empire collapsed in 476 as Romulus Augustus was forced to abdicate by Odoacer. The Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire endured until 1453 with the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks led by Mehmed II. Therefore, it is difficult to give an exact date when the Roman Empire ceased to exist.The Roman Empire in it's entirety lasted from 27 BC to 476 AD.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It actually was from 43BC to 410AD-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Roman Empire is said to have begun when the Senate granted the title Augustus to Octavian on January 4, 27 BC. The date of the fall of the Roman Empire is usually given as 476 AD, though the empire did not really fall on that date.The Roman Empire divided and was reunited several times, the last division being in 395. The event of 476 was the abdication of the last Emperor of the West, in favor of the Emperor of the East. But the West Roman Empire had already become a chaotic mess and never recovered. The emperors of the East Roman Empire tried to reconquer the West, but never got very far.The East Roman Empire finally fell in 1453. Our current historians refer to the East Roman Empire from about 500 AD to 1453 as the Byzantine Empire.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Roman Empire the solidus was a Roman gold coin which replaced the silver denarius as the main currency unit of the Roman Empire. In the British Commonwealth, before decimalisation, it was a punctuation mark used to denote the shilling and was also called the shilling mark.
