Agreed. Ancient Rome had a better infrastructure, roads and sewage system than even many modern cities today have. Last time I watched a documentary on it, my comment was: "Looks like the world still hasn't recovered from the fall of the Roman Empire."
but none more so than what the middle ages would become: Power Struggle
They expanded wayyyyy too fast for their own good. Rather than trying to keep the government together they just could kill the current caesar or political figures / military figures and move up the ranks while continuing their conquests of the areas.
They lacked any loyalty or reason to stay in their position. It was literally following the next in line and marriages that were forced for political stability (that turned out to be the opp in alot of ways).
Romans they had the best military and tactics. But they lacked something called morality and ethics. Not in the traditional sense but in the higher sense of loyalty.
With me I actually ask because I googled with no results. Like the time my friend though he would’t be lactose intolerant anymore if he kept drinking milk.
look at the U.S. currently and your answer about the fall of Rome explains itself, in real time, in 2022.

This happened over time by multiple reasons happening simultaneously.
The military became overstretched and the empire started to fail to enforce it's wishes upon its territories, while at the same time the economy was waning and incompetent emperors were ruling, which caused mayor internal power struggles within rome itself while barbarian tribes put pressure on it's outer borders.
Then there was also a climate change happening and outbreak of diseases that didn't help too ofcourse in the already downspiraling situation.
Though it was illegal for any man to own more than 500 acres, the elites flagrantly disregarded and began a campaign of economic centralization that dispossessed farmers in the Italian heartland. These were the people who formed the bulk of the Roman army, and now they were crowded into shantytowns (insulae) with no stake in there empire and no reason to fight for it.
Politics became depraved, the ruling party increasingly just arrested or assassinated opposition senators or anyone campaigning on reform.
Caesar fixes the political situation by making the senate largely irrelevant (except when it killed him and a few other times) but the sentiment lacking stake persisted among the commoners. They came to rely on foreign mercenaries, both because they were outside Roman politics and the Italians never regained their economic self reliance and fighting spirit. Even 1000 years later Italian merchant republic leaders had a hard time understanding en belleum ensiferrum non augem.
As far as the people living at the time were concerned the Roman empire never fell, because there was always some political unit claiming to be the Roman empire. When the west fell the Byzantine emperors claimed sovereignty over Italy, when the east fell both the papacy and the Holy Roman Empire claimed to be successors of the Roman empire. The Roman church maintains its claim to this day.
Corrupt politicians.
Soy military.
Chad invaders.
