Rome's fall was more involved than that. Rome grew with small land owners protecting their society, then with the farmers losing their jobs to slaves (machines and robotics seem to be doing that today). In order to gain power, the elites the rich began providing food and entertainment making the population less self-reliant. The newly conquered people began to take up the military manpower role. Then the empire stalled with no new riches from conquest and the expense of maintaining its structures, the elites began finding ways to obtain funds from all others; but they also had a large number of idle who they eventually made to work (shoemakers children had to be shoemaker and etc.). The enemies outside the empire became more realized and better armed; while plague and civil wars reduced parts of the empire to a shell. At this point the enemies started pushing into the empire which need troops to fight them. So, increasingly they hired other groups and didn't make them Romanized; but the did improve their arms and armor, allowing local enemies to equal local garrisons in quality while outnumbering them. So lighter quick response forces were created that could be quickly moved using training to offset the fact that their opponent both out numbered them and at least had a core as well equipped. That worked for awhile, but ultimately they couldn't replace the trained manpower that they lost, thereby increasing dependency on non-Roman manpower. This finally led to non-Romans controlling the landsof the Western halfof the empire ushering in what still known as the Dark Ages (although modern studies have shown that is something of a misnomer). The Eastern hal of the empire struggled on first as the East Rome Empire and later renamed the Byzntine Empire until the Turks finally destroyed in the 15th Century.
