Good job being a 18th century pendant.

Theodosius dying too young. Can't fault him for naming his sons emperors, because he didn't intend to die at 48. The Empire didn't need a 17yo and a 10yo "ruling" it, because it led to a lot of behind the scenes court/military conflicts that pulled resources and troops away from where they were needed: keeping Goths in line so that the Eastern troops could continue to defend the borders against Persia.

Rome was too good for Europe.

Anything too good to exist doesnt deserve to exist.

I agree anon in all honesty. Europe betrayed Rome and stole from it as needed to survive on its own. If Europe wanted to it could have reunited under an Empire.

Alas Europe has no Emperor, Europe need no Emperor.

>empire no longer holds Rome
The imperial capital and the Emperor officially moved from Rome to Costantinople anyway. Rome was at the mercy of barbarian raiders anyway.
>empire that doesn't have an ethnic and cultural group corresponding to the people of Rome that founded and expanded it
>Implying that hadn't been the case since forever at that point, even when the Empire was run from Rome
>Implying the Eastern, Greek half of the Empire was more culturally distanced from "Rome" than whoever ran Rome at that point

>>2775351
>Empire that long ago made every freeman citizens of Rome
>Empire where ethnic Romans/Italians have settled in Greece, Thrace, Anatolia, Syria, etc
Romans stopped being ethnically Romans a long time before the loss of the western territories.
