One of the most puzzling questions regarding the Fall of Rome is, why did the Western Roman Empire fall, but the Eastern Empire survive much longer? Was the Eastern Roman Empire just better, more successful, while the West was weak and degenerate? I hope I will be able to show that the reasons for the survival of the East are not due to higher virtue and competence, but due to other, quite unexpected factors.
