Rome, in one form or another, has been around for a *while*. Kinda seemed like it was going to last forever, like it was basically immortal. Well bad news for everyone involved: Rome goes bye-bye just like all the other empires in world history. So let's talk about when, how, and why Rome fell!
(***About Commodus: Commenters are correct that Commodus was strangled in his bath — I was lazy with my word choice, my bad. No, the ending of Gladiator is not historically accurate.)
