The term decline and fall of the empire is used because the empire begun to decline centuries before it actually fell. There was a decline in the economy of the empire with a big reduction in the volume of trade and the collapse of the urban economy. There was also a decline in the ability of the empire to defend itself from attacks from outside. The fall of the Western Roman Empire (the western part of the empire) was quite quick and occurred as a result of the Germanic invasions. These Germanic peoples took over most of the lands of the west. The eastern Roman Empire (the eastern part of the empire) was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years.
Edward Gibbon is most famous for his monumental work "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." In this six-volume work, Gibbon chronicles the decline and fall of the Roman Empire from its peak in the 2nd century AD to its eventual collapse in the 5th century AD. He explores various factors that contributed to the decline, including political corruption, moral decay, and the invasion of barbarian tribes.

There are two terms: decline and fall of the Roman Empire. The former refers to the last 2-3 centuries of the empire. There was a decline in the economy of the empire. Roman coins had been debased for many years. The gold or silver content of the coins was continually decreased, effectively devaluing them. The coins reached a point in which they had as little as 5% of precious metal and had vitally no value. This created hyperinflation and a breakdown of trade as money was useless as a means of exchange. It also led to a decline of the urban economy and a decrease in the urban population because the cities produced manufactures for long-distance trade. Many people migrated to the countryside and became servile labour for the owners of large landed estates whose production had switched to production for local barter, rather than exports for the cities. The empire never fully recovered from this crisis. Hyperinflation was a major cause of the so called decline of the empire. Whether inflation also contributed to the fall of the empire is a matter of opinion. If so, it would have been at most indirectly. It was the western part of the empire which fell. It fell under the weight of the Germanic invasions. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for another 1,000 years. The weakening of the economy which had been caused by hyperinflation made government revenues harder to raise and led to heavier taxation of people who were already worse off. At the same time government revenue requirements increased because the army was enlarged due to continuous attacks of the frontiers of the empire. However, I think that inflation was not a critical factor in the fall of the western part of the empire. The crucial factor was the Germanic invasions which made it disintegrate. The eastern part, which also had been affected by the economic problems and changes cause by hyperinflation continued to exist.
