Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on The Debate on what caused Rome to fall the most. It needs to be at least 1500 words.

Those who lived on the streets remained exposed to the diseases, which speeded up the process of spreading. To make things worse, the use of alcohol increased, thus eroding the public health system in Rome.
