@georgetakei To be fair, the fall of Rome was pretty stupid. Nero, Caligula and this guy:

@rrb @georgetakei FYI the fall of Rome - the final blow after a long decline - occurred in 476 CE, centuries after the reigns of Nero, Caligula, and Elagabalus (who lasted only a few years and was assassinated at the age of 18). Being a roman emperor could be a high-risk profession.
