Impact of the Church in the Late Roman Empire As the Roman Empire declined in the West, the church in Rome grew in importance, membership, and influence. The church became an example of moral authority

Christianity

Diaspora Scattering of the Jews Jews were exiled from Israel by the Romans in AD 132. They migrated to places all around the Mediterranean Sea

Decline of the Roman Empire Moral decay Army discipline Division of empire Political problems Invasions Economic problems MAD PIE

Barbarian Invaders Germanic tribes repeatedly attacked along the northern borders. Barbarians: Non-Romans

Army Membership To defend against increasing threats, Rome hired mercenaries (foreign soldiers who fought for money). Military started to include invaders Discipline and loyalty collapsed.

Division of the Empire Rome was divided into Eastern and Western portions Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium (He also ended persecution of Christians)

Invasions From 376 to 476 Germanic and Mongol invaders poured into the Western portion of the Roman Empire.

Economic Problems The high cost of defending its borders caused the Empire to raise taxes and mint coins with less silver. With Roman money worth less(devaluation), prices rose (inflation). Small farmers abandoned their lands causing food shortages.

Political Problems Civil conflict: politician- generals fought each other for power Weak leadership: Emperors were unable to handle problems faced by the empire. They were often brutal and incompetent. Many were murdered.

Moral Decay Conditions in the later centuries made Romans lose their patriotism. The people lost faith in Rome and the family
