Look at The Students Gibbon "Fall and Decline of The Roman Empire". I think it is at gutenberg,com , I know it is in most libraries.

the last roman empire fell becasue the crusaders on their way to help out decided to sack the city instead and loot the place, look up constantinople and crusades on wiki and it's all there, also a good book in the concise history of the crusades by thomas madden

or if you mean the actually (modern italian) rome then it was civil war and germanic invaders who were being forced out of germanic lands by thehuns from asia, so it was really a lot of things , the perfect roman storm!
