The newly emerging Persian Empire emerged as a great threat and later before Rome fell their attacks on the Roman Empire played a very significant role in the downfall of Roman Empire. The most alarming part of this battle was that during these encounter many experienced legions of Rome were either captured or killed and with they no longer available uncertainty and fear prevailed in the Roman Army camps. Slowly and gradually vast areas of Roman Empire were lost which resulted in humiliation and demoralized the army and the people living in Rome (Burrell 1991).

The things that Romans took as their pride and strength like their political system and their well-established army ultimately became their weaknesses. Their army which has posed fear into the hearts of so many for so many years but were no longer that strong and had weakened to alarming extent inviting others to take over them with minimum resistance.
One thing that should also be kept in mind that Rome was a very vast empire and when we speak of the fall we mainly refer it to the western half of the empire as the eastern half that was known as the Byzantine Empire managed to survive till 1453 (Sonneborn and Hiti 2010).
