In everything I have ever heard about the Fall of Rome, is that its collapse, and I know this did not happen overnight, much happened before Rome itself was sacked is it is never associated with mass starvation etc.
Certainly the headline/marquee notion of an imploded empire is not correct, but its disintegration did not mean regional economies imploded
So can I lure a historian to tell us a tale regarding the disposition of what had been the empire?
