    Yet the Roman Empire survived and thrived for about a millennium afterwards.

        Unfair, there is still actual debate amongst historians and scholars about when the Roman empire ended, and if ever, it fell.

          Among which historians specifically? I’m unaware of any serious debate here other than propagandists using the name second Rome, third Rome, ceaser etc. sorry buddy Roman empire collapsed when the franks, Visigoths, ostrogoths and Huns toppled the west. Wanna know why it ended then? Byzantine had split long before into a separate entity to distance itself from Rome and when it collapsed it chugged along with it’s greek orthodox ideals
