Key Terms Inflation Mercenaries Diocletian Constantinople Attila

Decline of Rome Decline begins in A.D. 180 with death of emperor, Marcus Aurelius Future leaders don’t know how to handle problems of large empire End of Pax Romana

Weakened Economy Hostile tribes and pirates disrupt trade Limited opportunities of expansion meant no new sources of gold and silver Needing money, government raised taxes and made more coins with less silver Led to inflation, a drastic drop in value of when while prices rise

Weakened Economy Agriculture suffered Overworked soil lost its fertility Years of war destroyed much farmland Led to serious food shortages and spread of disease Population declined

Decline of Military Soldier less disciplined and loyal To defend against increasing threats of empire, gov’t recruited mercenaries, paid foreign soldiers Accepted lower pay, but little loyalty to Rome

Political Turmoil Lack of patriotism in government Rich didn’t care what the government did Lost money to sponsor events and festivals Too expensive to serve in government Military took over government making it unstable

Diocletian Empire remained intact for another 200 years Diocletian took control as emperor in A.D. 284 Restored order and strength to empire - Doubled size of army - set fixed prices on goods to control inflation

Diocletian (con’t) - forced farmers to stay on their land for life - forced workers to stay in jobs for life - divided Roman Empire into Eastern half and Western half

Roman Empire Divided WEST East Latin Speaking Italy, Gaul, Britain, Spain Ruler: Maxamian Region was poor Greek Speaking Greece, Anatolia, Syria, Egypt Ruler: Diocletian Greatest cities and trade centers of Roman Empire Civil War Constantine gains control of West

Constantine Continued social and economic policies in the west Gains control of the east Moves capital city to the Greek city of Byzantium in Anatolia Protected by massive walls, and buildings modeled after Rome Renamed Constantinople

Empire Divides, Again Empire divided into east and west after death of Constantine East would prosper for another 1000 years as the Byzantine Empire West attacked by Germanic tribes and Huns Attila the Hun led these attacks West was no longer controlled by Romans, but culture remained
