The Collapse of the Roman Empire has many reasons. first of all, the main reasons are economical issues, Political Issues, and Social Issues. The Barbarians kept on attacking, the emperor divided in half and the crazy emperors kept on destroying Rome slowly. First, the Political issues. as Constantine divided the empire, the power of Rome started to shift to the east. also, the gigantic size of the empire gave hard times to the emperor because they could not communicate through out the whole empire. there were 25 emperors during 50 years. tyrants became emperors, got killed and another tyrant came up Civil wars broke out, rebellions started, the senates and the governors got corrupt, and the soldiers only showed loyalty to their generals. Even the Roman citizens started to lose respect to their emperors and their leaders. as the balance started to break, the Barbarians kept on attacking the borders of the Roman empire. they political collapse of Rome started the Economical collapse. as the political departments collapsed, the money of the Roman Empire lost its price, the trade was declined and the price of the food or other necessary's price rose extremely. many people died from lack of food. also, the new provinces needed to build rome and needed to build other stuff. so the Roman empire needed to grow more to get more tax. the goods poured into Rome from all of the other places. however, because of the corruptness of the governors and the need to build and buy more goods, the money poured out from Rome's hands. since the price of the egyptian rice was lower, the rice farmers of Italy had to suffer with Poverty. this was also happening in other grains and vegetables. as the economical and the political departments collapsed, the power of rome slowly started to decrease. The goths, vandals and etc kept attacking Rome. Rome had to negotiate with them, but the Romans did not negotiate with them because they all ways thought that the Barbarians were very uncivilized, so they could not agree. Diocletian moved all the money, wealth and the power to the east. he hardly left anything on the west side of the empire. SO theses are the reasons that ROme collapsed.

Year of XX, XX/X I wish today's incident was a ordinary, boring dream. Us, Carthage which was called the gem of the Mediterranean, lost by a very young country named Rome. my father who is a military general, had to write a agreement that promised us to give all our goods to Rome. I watched his hand shaking with rage while he was writing. Romans.... they are such cowards. i heard that they hardly invented anything for themselves. even their ships, they copied them from our ships. their military systems, their governing systems, and etc. all the Carthaginians were gloomy all day long. i swear that i will take revenge upon those Romans.

Year of XX, XX/X At last! i get to take revenge to Romans. i waited for 20 years. even though we lost the first punic war, we still have more chances. and i just got up with a brilliant idea. instead of being stupid and walk towards Rome straight, i am going to go all the way around, cross the Alps, and hit Rome on their back. i am getting ready for this long voyage. 37 elephants, and 40,000 men. I'm just about to arrive at spain.

Year of XX, XX/X many men are dying. i lost over 10,000 men and 30 elephants. i feel very sorry for my soldiers and their families. however, i think to achieve something i should sacrifice. its very cold here in the Alps. most of my men are dying by starvation and low temperature. thank god that the soldiers did not lose their spirits. they are in unison thinking about revenge to Rome.

Year of XX, XX/X Sadness is burning down my heart in ashes. me and my brave soldiers killed over half of the Roman military. we eliminated most of the Roman forces even though we were highly out numbered. then that coward Scipio planned to attack Carthage instead of my army. Carthage sent help massages to me and i had to go. i was so sad that i was shameful that i only had one eye to weep.
