The fact is that I prefer the classical rome, until the end of Antiquity but when I started getting more into its history during the middle ages I started understanding that the last romans were dying and the fall of Constantinople ended the dream of Rome for ever and that is something that hurts me the most.

The city of Rome getting sacked did not contribute to the fall of rome(it was tragic for sure). The polity founded by Augustus ended with mehmed conquering the Romans. The fall of Constantinople was the end.

As a historical event, the fall of Constantinople. As an idea, Rome will never fall.

Absolutely Rome. The fall of the western roman empire was a tragedy for the whole europe. The fall of the eastern, while sad, gave us the renaissance.

The thing is that the fall of Rome is much more of a sentimental thing, because it didn’t really fall, it was just a progressive decline, and it wasn’t even the capital

On one hand, the fall of Constantinople was the true end of the Roman Empire, but also the beginning of the middle ages. Plus at least the lands were under controlled Ottoman Rule for centuries The fall of Rome was tragic. It was a long decline which ended with the city falling under Germanic hands for a long time. It suffered a lot of instability for some time after it. Plus I'm pretty sure the italian peninsula ceased to be a united political body until ~1400 years later

Btw you should do a video about the battle of Satala 298 with Galerius blessing us with the greatest victory over the Persians

You know the following of Rome could have also have been prevented if Constantine would not have stolen of Rome's gold, taking most of the manpower with him also to Constantinople, it really is also could have been prevented if the Roman general would have listened to the priest of Jupiter when Jupiter told the priest do not let the general go in to war against the East. And thirdly last but not least if the Christians in Constantinople would have actually been Christian like and done their Christian duty they would have helped their brothers and been there for them and not let Rome happen like that. But this only goes to prove and say that when the Christian Capital fell it's like nothing happened ; reap what you sow
