It was a slow decay, like sand slipping through an hourglass. By the 3rd century C. E, the empire faced hyperinflation, plagues and constant warfare. Diocletion tried to stabilize things with tetrarky, dividing power among four rulers, but unity proved elusive. Barbarian invasions intensified as Germanic tribes pressed against the northern borders. The Visigoths sacked Rome in 410 c. E, marking the first time the Eternal City had fallen to foreign enemies in 800 years. Meanwhile, economic collapse crippled the Western Empire, leaving it unable to defend itself.
