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.

The Roman Empire was split in half because the massive empire was too large to defend with too many invaders, such as the Saxons, Huns, Goths, and Germanic tribes.
