They had no money to keeps up the aqueducts that lead to dirty water. They also built with lead pipes which made people sick. This could be a huge reason why people died.
-
they also had to raise taxes to keep up an army and protect the borders. There were also less people to pay those taxes. (Final Blows Article)

What about the Unemployment? Moral Decay and values? Urban Decay? Inflation? Are these part of our world?

Well most of them are, but not all of these. Unemployment is happening right now in the world. But Moral decay and values are not used today.

Really: google the term Moral Decay in America and see if people think this is happening.

THE FINAL BLOWS For years, the well-disciplined Roman army held the barbarians of Germany back. Then in the third century A. D. the Roman soldiers were pulled back from the Rhine-Danube frontier to fight civil war in Italy. This left the Roman border open to attack. Gradually Germanic hunters and herders from the north began to overtake Roman lands in Greece and Gaul (later France). Then in 476 A. D. the Germanic general Odacer or Odovacar overthrew the last of the Roman Emperors, Augustulus Romulus. From then on the western part of the Empire was ruled by Germanic chieftain. Roads and bridges were left in disrepair and fields left untilled. Pirates and bandits made travel unsafe. Cities could not be maintained without goods from the farms, trade and business began to disappear. And Rome was no more in the West. The total fall of the Roman empire.

Empire had trouble picking the new throne so they DO NOT have efficient way, so they sell it to ANYBODY who has the highest bid. Before even that they would pick a RANDOM guard to become it if he wins.
-
This led to the other events because instead op picking a system to get it done faster instead of wasting months of choosing who randomly they could still be advancing in government and there organized military.
