LATE ROMAN COINS
    The end game of ancient Rome was mostly a matter of the contraction of the economy toward the new center of gravity in Constantinople (now Istanbul).  Resources kept draining east and south, Rome mattered less and less, declined into a province, eventually a German soldier took over.  That's perhaps a little simpler than it should be, but it will do for now.  In the 5th century Rome became irrelevant.

    A notably stupid emperor, he was the safest choice of the available generals in the field in Persia after the death of Julian.  He gave away all of the territories captured from Persia during the previous 70 years, and died of carbon monoxide poisoning in his sleep after a reign of 7 months.
