Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The decline of Greco-Roman paganism was caused partly by the rise of interest by literate people in monotheistic religion that had an ethical content.

Detailed explanation-2: -As a result of the ‘barbarian invasion, ‘ the empire abandoned one of its long-standing frontiers and was forced to allow various barbarian groups into the political landscape of the empire. It is these barbarian polities that would go on to grow into the kingdoms that would eventually replace the Western Roman Empire.

Detailed explanation-3: -Roman religion involved cult worship. Approval from the gods did not depend on a person’s behavior, but on accurate observance of religious rituals. Each god needed an image – usually a statue or relief in stone or bronze – and an altar or temple at which to offer prayers and sacrifices.
