Which important aspect of the Roman Empire did the barbarians destroy?

centers of learning

Explanation:

Under the leadership of Emperor Valens, Rome was already having financial hardships. This meant that it didn't have enough money left to repair its empire nor to strengthen it against invaders. Soon, the barbarians such as the Franks, Huns, Saxons, etc. started attacking Rome. They spent a lot of time destroying the outer regions of the empire because they were also at war with each other. They penetrated Rome and it soon fell. The barbarians didn't only destroy the cities but they also destroyed the "centers of learning." Roman people were known to value education. With the fall of the Roman Empire, so did education and sophisticated architectures follow.
