By the way, for anyone interested in the complexity of the Roman Empire’s fall, I recommend this blog post by a Roman historian, the last in a series exploring the identity and makeup of the Roman People, which examines what held Rome together and how it stopped.
I also recommend the follow-up series “Rome: Decline and Fall?” which deals with the contending views treating the end of the Western Roman Empire as either “decline and fall” or “change and continuity”, which I personally found a surprising question, and the way its nuances are explored was really enlightening with respect to my own biases.
There’s no time limit or “late” here. Well, beside the eventual heat death of the universe or the demise of infrastructure. It’s a recommendation for your leisure, not a reading assignment for class.

A bit late, but thanks for the links. I’m really enjoying the reading.
