It doesn't matter why Rome fell. It doesn't matter why any of the old
civilizations fell. It only matters that we prevent the fall of this one. Ours. That's what matters.
To that end, if we need to look into ancient Rome and the others, so be it.
"The commonwealth was not yet lost in Tiberius's days, but it was already doomed and Rome knew it. The fundamental trouble could not be cured. In Italy, labor could not support life..." - Vladimir Simkhovitch, "Rome's Fall Reconsidered"
