Historians believe that the decline in morals and values connected to why the fall of the Roman Empire happened . Crimes of violence made the Empire`s largest cities horribly dangerous. Emperors, for example, Nero and Caligula, became despised by most for wasting their money on parties where many people got sick. There were even 32,000 prostitutes! But the main reason, was the increased passion for ruthlessness. The most attracted thing, was to go watch gladiators abusing and killing animals and people. Wether you were poor or rich , you could watch. Even the emperor would watch for himself. They would watch people suffer .
