So we know the WRE ceased to exist officially in 476 AD and the east held out for nearly another thousand years.

What if they both collapsed by 500 AD?

Maybe the Huns sack Constantinople earlier in the 4th century or the Visigoths do?

Maybe the Sassanids achieve a decisive breakthrough at the same time as the goths or Huns are besieging Constantinople.

If both Roman empires fall and Europe is divided between Germanic kingdoms and perhaps a resurgent Sassanid empire(that reaches the extent of the Achaemenids)-in the near east would what the consequences of this be?
