Who destroyed the roman empire ages ago?

The Roman Empire faced a gradual decline rather than a single act of destruction. Key factors included internal strife, economic troubles, and political corruption. The Western Roman Empire ultimately fell in 476 AD when the last emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was deposed by the Germanic leader Odoacer. Meanwhile, the Eastern Roman Empire, known as the Byzantine Empire, continued to exist until the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
