In the army, discipline and loyalty had collapsed. Soldiers gave their loyalty not to Rome but to their commander, who fought among themselves for the throne. To defend against the increasing threats to the empire, the government began to recruit mercenaries, foreign soldiers who fought for money. While mercenaries would accept lower pays than Roman, they felt little sense of loyalty to the Empire.

How long did Rome survive?

Ancient Rome lasted for 1229 years, from 753 BCE to 476 CE. According to Rome's founding myth, the city was founded on April 21, 753 BCE. The Roman kingdom lasted until 509 BCE. The Roman Republic was in place from 509 BCE to 27 BCE. Finally, the Roman Empire existed from 27 BCE to 476 CE, with the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire being founded in 330 CE. The Western Roman Empire fell when groups such as the Vandals, the Huns, the Franks, the Burgundians, the Rugians, and the Visigoths overran various parts of the empire. Its last emperor, Romulus Augustus, was deposed and removed from power in 476 CE, marking the end of the Western Roman Empire.


How did the punic wars lead to the fall of the roman empire?

They didn't. The Punic Wars, fought in the second and third centuries BCE, were between Carthage and the Roman Republic. The empire began over a hundred years after the end of the third and last Punic War (149-146 BCE). The fall of the Roman Empire (in the West, anyway), occurred almost 500 years after its founding (27 BCE), by which time Carthage had been destroyed, rebuilt, made part of the Roman empire and abandoned to the Vandals.
