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 size of their empire was difficult to defend against barbarian invasions.
It probably got too big to defend its borders.
When the Roman armies were defeated, the barbarians overran and sacked Rome.
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 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. So Diocletian, the emperor at the time, split it in half because he thought the empire would be easier to defend. The western empire fell to a Germanic general, Odoacer, while the eastern empire, the Byzantine Empire, continued to thrive.

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)
