In many parts of Europe, especially Eastern Europe, the Vikings were known primarily as traders rather than as raiders. These places included much of Eastern Europe and Russia, where they were regarded with respect and valued as merchants. They traded in other parts of Europe as well, but were vilified, especially in Western Europe, for raiding and piracy, partly because they were pagans. They traded as far as the shores of the Caspian Sea, Constantinople, Sicily, and Spain, mostly along the coasts and up the rivers.
Approximately from 800 AD onward the Vikings invaded from Denmark and Norway inhabiting the eastern parts of Ireland.

The Vikings had nothing to do with the decline of the Roman empire. They came into prominence well after the western empire had fallen. As the Vikings were also great traders in addition to their military strength, they more than likely had contact with the eastern part of the empire by way of Europe's rivers.
