description

Abstract Attacked and weakened, especially in the last three centuries, both from inside and outside, Rome and the Western Roman Empire will fall in 476 A.D. Actually, what were the causes? Hit and weakened by the present global economic-financial crises – and not only – our European civilisation faces some of the highest risks. Often, people say it is a real collapse. Are the causes of these falls – of the European-type civilisation – similar? And being familiar with Roman experience, how can we prevent such harmful processes? Further, we try to provide a few answers in this respect.
