The succession of the Rome culture was a gradual transformation into the German tribes and not a sudden one.

Explanation:

The successor states of culture of the west or of the culture and civilization of Rome was taken over by the kingdoms and the states which were established by the German tribes.

This succession and this transformation was a gradual transformation and not a sudden change where the German tribes over threw the western culture and took over these states.
