Near the end of the empire, Rome was being raided very much  by different groups. The most important was Goths, and the Huns. The Goths kept constant threats so government paid them to not attack. This left Rome in constant debt. The government was forced to bring farmers to the military to protect Rome from the Huns, so food became more scarce. Government officials became corrupt because of these things. They became more and more unconcerned with Rome and its people and more concerned with themselves. Finally, Rome fell.

Roman roads were physical infrastructure vital to the maintenance and development of the Roman state, and were built from about 300 BC through the expansion and consolidation of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. They provided efficient means for the overland movement of armies, officials, civilians, inland carriage of official communications, and trade goods. Roman roads were of several kinds, ranging from small local roads to broad, long-distance highways built to connect cities, major towns and military bases. These major roads were often stone-paved and metaled, cambered for drainage, and were flanked by footpaths, bridleways and drainage ditches. They were laid along accurately surveyed courses, and some were cut through hills, or conducted over rivers and ravines on bridgework. Sections could be supported over marshy ground on rafted or piled foundations.

The Roman Empire is well known for its amazing feats of engineering, many of which have stood the test of time and are still used to today, or have heavily influenced contemporary machinery and engineering. The Romans have made so much technology that is used today, and it has benefited society and made it what it is today. They made a strong arch design, roads for transportation and communication, and even concrete, which most every piece of architecture is made of. Thanks to the Romans, we have all of the buildings, bridges and roads we use. I believe that the Romans have helped us become what we are today.
