When the Roman armies were defeated, the barbarians overran and sacked Rome.
It was actually not that easy to defend the empire as the barbarians (Barbarians is not a specific type of empire, it is just a Roman term for any-one not of Roman stature) would often attack the empire, but what would make it a little bit easy to defend is that the Roman empire had MASSIVE armies. Each army consited of a couple legions, each legion about a thousand soldiers.
How did the battle of Cannae affect the Roman empire
It probably got too big to defend its borders.
The empire became too big and difficult to defend. There were attacks in various parts of the vast frontiers of the empire in Europe. In the east there were repeated wars with the Persians. The Roman army became overstretched.

the roman army was weak so it could not defend the empire from barbarians who attacked it in the twilight of Rome (Rome was captured in 476 AD by a barbarian named Odacer)
It became easier to govern.
