Damnit - at this point I really should have gone to grad school and gotten my Ph.D. in Roman History - then I could write the fascinating book I've always conceptualized in my head comparing the US to Rome.

I'm not sure what you mean here? Are you referring to the split of the eastern and western Roman empire? How do you feel that caused problems? I'm not going to say "fall" since you did not use that term. You said fragment. Although that implies fall or decline.
