Explanation:

Invasions by Barbarian tribes. The most straightforward theory for Western Rome's collapse pins the fall on a string of military losses sustained against outside forces. Rome had tangled with Germanic tribes for centuries, but by the 300s “barbarian” groups like the Goths had encroached beyond the Empire's borders.

Increase in loyalty from mercenaries was not a reason why the Roman empire suffered a decline.

The Roman empire was glorious at its peak but saw itself steadily crumble. This was the result of a mix of factors such as:

  • economic problems - bad economic policies followed by successive emperors brought the Roman economy on the brink of collapse

  • weak governance - as a result of various divisions and strife amongst various Caesars, the Roman empire lacked the cohesive government needed to keep them strong

  • lack of food - the empire at some point saw a famine every 9 years which led to a lack of food and therefore a lack of power and support as people left the empire.

Rome had to hire mercenaries as its armies decreased but these mercenaries could not often be trusted as they took Roman land.

In conclusion, loyalty from mercenaries was lacking and so an increase in it could not have been a reason for the decline of Rome.
