• Over reliance on slave labor:  the Roman empire depended on the services of slaves captured during wars to tilt their land for Agricultural purposes and also for other economic activities. but the reduction of slaves been captured during war times due to the constant defeats faced by the military the economic woes increased
• over expansion and military over spending: the roman empire extended its territory way beyond its reach to the middle east and was faced with administrative and logistical challenges because most of its territories were not reachable effectively. and to protect its territories the empire spent alot in its military activities.leading to economical collapse and eventual collapse of the empire.
