Except Rome never "fell." It created a new legal, moral, and spiritual structure called "The Church," created the most powerful self-managing social controlling belief system (AKA religion) of all time (by number of adherents), changed it's name to the Holy Roman Empire to represent that the Ruler was no longer just an Emperor, but had become both an Emperor and Divine, and it plays a huge part in the legal and moral rulership of the world today.

It was more of a "morph into an all powerful being that controls the minds and owns the souls of all mankind" than a "fall."
