It says that hot baths and lead water pipes caused sterility or low sperm count, which combined with culturally accepted homosexuality accounted for an insufficient number of births. They legislated mandatory sex between husbands and wives, but that didn't fix the problem. When there were not enough educated (elite) Romans to run the country, they looked for leaders in Greece and other places throughout the empire. These new leaders maintained allegiances to their native lands, and unfair trade practices favoring their native lands began to destroy the Roman economy. We do have the unfair trade practices in common.
