The Necessary Connection between Ethical Corruption and the Decline of the Roman Empire

Suyang Liu and Linford Fisher

Abstract—The decline and fall of Rome was a significant event to the western world, and scholars' analysis of the reasons for the decline and fall of the Western Roman Empire is wide-ranging. It was most widely accepted that the decline and fall of the Roman Empire includes two factors, one is the decline of politics, economy, and society, and the other is the decline of ideology, culture and spirit. This paper examines how the degradation of moral values closer ties to the direct factor for the Empire’s fall- economically and militarily.

Index Terms—Ethical corruption, roman empire, degradation of moral values.
