It took Rome anything between one and five centuries to fall. Damn, if you ask some people today it's possible to argue that the Roman empire still technically exists.

It doesn't, it finished falling in 1453 when the Turks conquered the Eastern capital of Constantinople.

Some people argue that given that the church was effectively one of the arm of the empire then a part of the Empire still exist today. Not saying they are right or wrong but I understand the argument.
