we cannot exactly say that they were bad writers. Virgil is maybe mediocre,
but Ovid is not. Also Apuleius is pretty good. Much of the literary work of
Roman empire was 'displaced' by Christians and their fellow

gibbon had one advantage i.e. writing well
as for the substace I am unsure about the conditioning
since between say the raj in india and trump in puerto rico it is not
clear to who declines.
slightly better in terms of fall: pseudopowers like comintern
disappeared in pess than one century
and without seneca ( they did invent film though)
