Who was the best Emperor/Roman that could have saved the empire

>who was the best Emperor/Roman

The answer is always Marcus Aurelius

Best emperors of the time were Julian, Constantius III and Majorian. Any emperor prior to 420 could have saved it if they had not been so short sight regarding foederati settlement.

Why did everyone always attack the Roman empire. Couldnt all the barbarians just leave it be?

>>1099802
The Huns forced the barbarians to move into Rome.

>>1099848
This meme was disproved as a massive exaggeration like a century ago. The barbarians did not want to destroy the Empire, they wanted to enjoy the benefits of it. They were not war refugees but economic migrant.

>Vandals take North Africa
>Visigoths sack Rome
>Odoacer displaces Romulus Augustulus

Odoacer literally destroyed the WRE. He even sent the Western imperial regalia to the Eastern emperor, stating that the WRE was no more and that he was the ruler of Italy.

>>1100035
... as a vassal of the emperor in Constantinople. In theory, anyway, but that was his reasoning. He figured he couldn't get away with declaring himself emperor without an eastern reaction, so he sent back the regalia and pretended to be an underling.

>Odoacer literally destroyed the WRE.
