Rome split in two

Rome was split into 2 parts. The Eastern and Western part . Rome was slowly falling to pieces because it was too big to handle. There weren't enough guards to protect the people. This means that people could steal things from villagers without being caught. This causes a lot of people to be afraid of traveling and selling their goods. Another way Rome was falling to pieces was because it didn't have any goods to trade. None of the surrounding countries wanted what they were selling which was: cheese, glass, and wine.
