Answer 9

it is not B because they didn't have a logistic problem, but when the empire split, Rome was not longer the capital and was therefore not defended as such. It is not D, because if it was the empire would have fallen with Nero and Caligula in the 1st century A.D.

It is not D, because if it was the empire would have fallen with Nero and Caligula in the 1st century A.D.
