The Roman Empire had a western side, governed by Rome, and an eastern side, governed by Constantinople. When we say the collapse of the Roman Empire, we are referring to the Western Roman Empire, containing Rome. The Eastern Roman Empire survived and became the Byzantine Empire, thriving for another 1,000 years. Western Rome was very unstable and corrupt. It was also constantly thwarted by Barbarians, who ultimately brought about the destruction of the empire. Rome was also more vulnerable to an attack than Constantinople, as this city was set up more defensively.
