Yikes! There were too many to list accurately. A study was made some time ago at a German university and they came up with 210 reasons for the decline of the Roman Empire. Some of them are trivial but others are more accurate. Bear in mind, though, that there was no one reason, but a combination of reasons and the problems did not come up all at once. Some took well over two hundred years to finalize their destruction. Here are a few of the main reasons: ineffective leadership, size of the empire with too few troops to protect the borders, lack of motivation in the provinces to become Roman citizens, (Caracalla saw to that) devalued currency, craving for costly goods from the East (India and China) which caused an outflow of money with no means of replacing it.

The Western Roman Empire officially fell in 476 AD, but many of its institutions and cultural influences persisted in the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, which continued for nearly a thousand years.
