Top 5 DEADLIEST Battles That Led To The Fall of Rome

Five battles that didn't just hurt Rome, they broke it permanently. Carrhae killed the man holding Rome's power balance together and sparked the civil war that ended the Republic. Cannae proved that even the greatest army on earth could be outsmarted and destroyed in a single afternoon. Teutoburg Forest shut down Rome's expansion forever and locked it into a frontier it could never fully secure. The Frigidus gutted the West's last experienced soldiers right when it could least afford to lose them. And Adrianople forced Rome to let its enemies move in next door, a compromise it never recovered from.
