I started watching the documentary "Civilization: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark", through a recommendation from @gokhan.eth. It made me realize that I had never really looked into the end of the Roman Empire (end of civilization), the world after, Christianity after the fall and the barbarians in particular. https://youtu.be/sX_r9R98DiY?feature=shared

Peter Turchin has a decent thesis on the decline of civilizations. The Roman empire is one of his examples :) you might enjoy reading some of his works if you like to learn more. I just recently read his End Times..great exploration of the topic of why great societies disintegrate.

Thank you, will look into it. Have heard of him, but never read any of his work.
