Ancient Rome, founded in 753 BC, evolved from a monarchy to a republic, and finally an empire, marking key events like the Republic's establishment in 509 BC and its fall in AD 476.
The decline of the Roman Empire remains a pivotal moment in history, marked by a complex interplay of political, social, and economic factors. While military defeats and political turmoil are often highlighted, the role of economic decline as a fundamental contributor cannot be overlooked.
