The Fall of Rome

Road to Destruction Rome too big for one person to rule Split Rome A.D. 284, Emperor Diocletian, a Roman general Rome too big for one person to rule Split Rome

A.D. 306 Constantine emperor Moves capital from Rome to Byzantium (Rome’s position/location had weakened) Named it Constantinople after himself

Eventually, Constantinople will become Istanbul in modern day Turkey

Barbarian Societies Celts, Picts, Scots, Angles, Saxons – Britian Franks – Gaul Vikings – Norway (come later) Goths, Visigoths, Ostrogoths – Northern Gaul Vandals- Central Europe Huns – Central Europe

In general: Class structure – chiefs, laborers, artisans, slaves Good Hygiene Some well educated Metal and jewelry artisans Inventions in weaponry Migratory / agricultural societies

Celts Settled in Gaul First Barbarian tribe to attack Rome in 387 AD Eventually defeated by Rome in 52 BC and become Romanized Movement of Germanic tribes forces their migration to Great Britain in the 3rd century

Celt Vercingetorix and Caesar

Road to Destruction Climatic changes on the plateaus of Central Europe/Asia make them uninhabitable (mini-ice age) Geography and the Great Wall blocked migrations into China Forced the Huns to move west Resulting in the Goths, and Vandals to move west away from the Huns and onto the Roman frontier in Gaul

Movement of the Germanic tribes force the Angles and Saxons to Britannia (Roman Occupied) Rome’s inability to deal diplomatically will lead to constant warfare Rome is forced to continually raise taxes to support the army to defend its borders and push the Barbarians back over the Rhine and Danube Rivers

This places an unfair burden on the populations greatly reduced by plague The Huns demand a yearly tribute (money) to stop attacking Roman town and cities Rome can not afford this, and never pays Rome never helps the Visigoths or Vandals who want land and protection from the Huns – this leads to retaliation against Rome Finally, the Visigoths led by Alaric I sack Rome in 410 Ad

455 AD Vandals another Germanic tribe sacked Rome

476 AD General Odoacer took control of Rome -The Empire Was No More- Romulus Augustus surrenders Rome
