It probably just fell down because nobody had made one that big before so they didn’t know that it even could collapse because material science hadn’t even been invented yet.
Which apparently happened a lot, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidenae - 20,000 people died, insane. That was quite normal in the ancient architecture sadly.
Well I mean when you haven’t invented geometry yet, you kinda have to just learn as you go. “Oh if I don’t brace these walls it could collapse and kill us all” was something people had to learn the hard way.
I recently went on one of those glass sky walks on a sky scraper and people would be lining up and clenching their buttholes hard today, can’t imagine the culture around architecture back in those times - everyone was either just ready to go or sweating all the time just doing menial tasks lol
