It's only been in the modern era that people have done deep dives into things like women's rights and discovered that most women weren't even given names and just took the last name of their father and usually a descriptor like "eldest", "youngest", etc. So it's hard to say what the common person thought about the collapse of the empire. Roman society was based heavily on exploitation of the working classes with things like slavery, indentured servitude, and all the fun things one can do to exploit workers. I can't imagine if you are in that position you even care to contemplate the empire at large.

The USA has become a fascist police state within our lifetimes. If you haven't noticed you're blind. It was bad before but now it's completely without rule of law. E: eh why the gently caress doesn't english have a word for oikeusvaltio I WONDER. I meant that subjects (former citizens) are completely without protection of the law.

One aspect of roman life that isn't mentioned much is that they loved dicks and put dicks on all sorts of stuff. Dick sculptures, dick paintings, centurion armor with a big ol' hog on it hanging from a chain.

One of the more fun indicators of the roman empire's shrinkage was Garum, a fermented fish sauce that the romans used. You can tell where roman influence waned in western europe because traces of it stop showing up in vases and such because other non-romans wouldn't touch the nasty stuff.
