The Romans, and some of the colonies such as England, had things like running water and sewage systems that would not be duplicated in Europe for centuries. The order and security provided by the Roman government and legions, and civil institutions deteriorated and then disappeared. Trade and commerce, which depended on that order and security, stopped. The Germanic tribes who came in and took over were considered to be primitive barbarians by comparison. It's ironic that the Germanics eventually advanced and built the technological society we have now. Took a hell of a long time though.

not really, apocalypse is sudden and the fall of even the western empire took centuries during which everyone could see it happening in slow mo. Just read gibbon bro (supertroll)

the most exact equivalent in our lifetimes will not be the loss of American geopolitical empire, but rather the slow decline of the American dollar (and the concomitant decline in American living standards)

Is that because of the high debt? The U.S. has been spending beyond its means for many years, except for that stretch during Clinton's admin.

Probably heard stories about losing areas on the fringe of the empire like Dacia and thought it’s NBD, were still hanging in there w Persians. Egypt crop yields are up, plenty of people wanting to move here still.

Then after hordes took over w few areas maybe made some people nervous. Hordes were then incorporated into the Roman army, it’s all good. We’re at the top, just bring in some more cheap slaves and labor. Give them some land nobody wanted anyways.

Roman army led by hordes goes berzerk and loots everything and romans think “well we’ve always had civil wars.” This will blow over they’re still learning our language. Generation goes by and the next one is used to Roman army being slightly unreliable, mostly foreign, and constantly looting territory.

Generation goes by. Maybe you stop paying taxes, don’t care to pay taxes, see Roman army as more of a problem than help. None of your friends and relatives are going into it so why care what they do as long as they leave you alone.

Generation goes by. Now “Roman” army shows up and you’re so used to this that you just leave the city and move somewhere else. Who cares if the burn the city to the ground. The government is corrupt and ineffective and has no control over anything. When the Roman army leader appoints himself emperor, you say whatever. There’s always been two emperors, the one in Constantinople is still ok.

Generation goes by and nobody cares about emperor 2000 miles away. You’re used to barbarians being in charge, they’re not that bad. Buildings are crumbling and you’re taking dumps in the street, but you don’t even know any different. Grandpa keeps talking about Roman legions, but that’s more of a Greek thing now.

Just a long shitty decline where people gave up or forgot how to be civilized. Except if you were in a sacked city it probably was hard to notice. There was a good summary in some book about how in britannia people just abandoned houses with plumbing and heating and shit because they couldnt figure out how to maintain them and ended up in shitty huts in the woods and shit. Families would bury their silver cache clearly imagining they'd come back for it and never did until it got dug up by some archaeologist 1600 years later.

There probably was a book, but it was written on shitty materials that deteriorated quickly and in Latin or Greek. The church had a near monopoly on ability to store, reproduce and read written materials, and they devoted nearly 100% of their efforts to religious texts, which are largely uninformative about matters of public sanitation.
