Even though the Roman Empire was one of the greatest civilizations of the ancient world, it was not immune to collapse. Despite the fact that Roman civilization survived in the Byzantine Empire, this magnificent country would inevitably fall apart. So, what’s keeping our civilizations from following in their footsteps? Scientists claim that there isn’t much. The same threat that is said to have wiped out the Byzantines may still exist today.

Because the empire had become too enormous to administer effectively, it was eventually split in two. The western half of the empire was centered in Italy, while the eastern half – also known as the Byzantine Empire – covered parts of Africa, the Balkans, and Asia. But, more importantly, this split sparked a new rivalry.
