Who were the Emperors that caused the fall of the Roman Empire?

I think the Emperor that caused Romes decline was Emp. Constantine the very same man that saved it when it was Fragmented.

He basically divided the empire into 2 parts East and West. East was the rich and most protected part of the empire. The empires finest cities were in the Eastern Empire Corinth, Athens, Antioch, Alexandria..etc and also most of the legions. It had vast wealth so it could spend it on decorating cities, funding campaigns...etc. The East had little threats and it still had an Army that sometimes helped the western empire. The East also had sensible emperors. These reasons i think is why East lasted 1000 years longer

The Western Empire was the worst. It was poor and always under attack. Its richest cities were in the Rome, Carthage, Iberian cities. It was also under constant attack by Barbaric threats Goths, Vandels, Visogoths, Vikings...etc. There Emperors were the worst sometimes they would have little children as emperors who either threw the west into bankruptcy or decay. Their army on the frontier had were made up of mainly barbarians (Germans) which led to their being usurpers rising against Rome.

when Emp. Constantine formed the two empires it was the beginning of the end. for the most part the east had to carry the west and had to launch campaigns to retake cities lost by the west.

the fall of Rome is due to the rise of the Ottoman Empire, British Empire, Mongol Empire and the Spanish Armada. The Spanish during the last 200 of the Roman Empire took over the seas and in 1299, the British began to rise in the north west part of Europe. In 1279, the Mongols had reached north east europe Than they had the Ottoman Empire coming from the south east, knocking on their capital cities door and cut them off on the west side as well making it impossible for supplies to get through. in 1453 the ottoman empire took Constantinople resulting in the fall of Rome.

The Empire fell under its own weight. Although no-one realised it at the time, the Empire depended for its continued existence an uninterrupted inflow of slaves and booty from newly-captured provinces. Once the decision was made to fix the borders and not to expand any further (which decision was in itself inevitable, as government of the Empire had become an impossibly unwieldy process) Rome was doomed, unless some truly radical reforms were instituted.

Of course, she hastened her own fall - not particularly through bad Emperors, but because in four hundred years, no-one ever came up with a smooth succession mechanism.

Crummy emperors were not the crux of Rome's problem; the Empire had had bad emperors like Caligula and commodus long before its position deteriorated seriously. But crummy emperors hastened the fall of the western Empire. The incompetence of Valens led to defeat at Adrianople in 378, making it impossible to expel or subdue the goths, who later sacked Rome itself. Early in the fifth century the weakness of Honorius had devastating consequencs for the western empire. The elimination of Stilicho and alienation of his barbarian troops not only led to the sack of Rome, it made the empire largely dependent on barbarian "federates"--tribes under their own rulers--for support. No longer did the West have fighting forces under its own direct command. With nearly all the fighting power the barbarian groups gradually seized the west for themselves.

Among the worst Roman emperors--at precisely the time the empire needed good leadership--was Valentinian III. He was not only a good for nothing he killed Aetius, the energetic general who had done his best to salvage what he could of Roman power.

EDIT Mr G: Latter third century emperors were excellent, although Rome suffered terribly from the incompetence of two mid third century emperors--Decius and Valerian. "Infighting" had very little to do with the fall. There had been civil wars for centuries; the problem was military weakness at time of barbarian encroachment.

Servian Emperors and most of the Emperors in the 3rd century (most of whom were assassinated in less then 3 years in their reign). Part of the collapse was due to an overly strong Roman Army. The Roman Empire collapsed because its was often fighting itself. Germanic Generals in the Roman army all trying to get what their were due. In the process of their revolt, they were fighting other Roman Generals and gradually, the Roman Empire had to be reformed but this infighting eventually led to its fall.
