An Analysis of The Decline of The Roman Empire From The Perspective of Daily Life

Abstract

The Roman Empire created a prosperous situation in western history and experienced many major attempts and problems in western society since modern times. The rise and fall of the Roman Empire has always been a thought-provoking and important issue. This paper mainly reexamines the decline of the late Roman Empire from the perspective of life. This paper is mainly divided into two parts. The first part mainly combs the relevant research on life culture and civil life in ancient Rome in recent years from the perspective of civil life and social change. It can be seen that lifestyle has always been an important factor to measure the rise and fall of a country, whether in the period of the Roman Republic or the Roman Empire. The second part mainly analyzes the text based on Histories, and summarizes the final response of many factors to the decline of the Roman Empire in public life. This paper holds that the main manifestation of the decline of the Roman Empire is the numbness of people's life. Due to the growing gap between the rich and the poor, the social class has been destroyed, the city has become increasingly declining, and the rural atmosphere has swept through the city. The people are completely dependent on religion, and the church undertakes the function of people's moral education and ideal vision. The numbness of life became an important reason and symbol of the decline of the Roman Empire. This paper will be helpful to further discuss the root causes of the decline of the Roman Empire from the cultural perspective of daily life.
