Taxes were high, so people stopped paying them.
C
Other empires stole money from the Roman Empire.
D
The empire lost money from people not paying taxes.

The size of the empire made it difficult to collect taxes.

High taxes encouraged people to evade or stop paying them, reducing the revenue Rome collected. The empire also lost money directly because of unpaid taxes, and its vast size made collecting taxes difficult. The choices about running out of valuable natural resources and other empires stealing money are not the economic causes described here.
