If you remember correctly, Rome eventually fell because it was so corrupt and full of itself...:smokin:
If you read my posts, as brief as they are in this thread, regarding Stoicism, that will address your point.

Oh, and there are varying theories as to why the Western Roman Empire fell, to go into them in detail would take much time and effort, and I really can't be bothered, suffice to say, the factors were basically varying economic (in regards to agriculture and trade and taxation) and social. But it wasn't really due to 'corruption' in any general sense.
