You need many things to be the emperor. First, you need to be smart so that the people of Rome trust you and believe that you are fit to rule. Also, you need a toga because that's what people wore in Ancient Rome. Next, you need money or power to rise up the political ladder. Last, you need an army behind you to fight off enemies. These are all needed before you can rule Ancient Rome (especially the toga).
The Barbarian invasions were the main reason why Western Rome fell, because it started a revolt. Also, the military was overexpanding itself, so it was weakened. Next, there were too many emperors and the government was collapsing. Rome couldn't agree on a leader, which was a negative. Last, Christianity became more popular, and no one cared about the traditional values Rome originally had. |
