Title for your notes on PAGE 30 of your notebook: The Fall of Rome …and it didn’t fall in a day, either.

Military Causes Invasion by Germanic tribes, beginning 200s AD 200s: Visigoths moved South and West into the Emipre 400s Vandals moved West into the Empire Angles and Saxons invaded the British isles 444-450: Huns invaded (under leadership of Attila)

Economic Causes High Taxes to fund… Hiring people to control provinces “Bread” (free food) and “Circuses” (free gladiator, chariot racing entertainment) to appease poor, unemployed population Small farmers lost land to wealthy “latifundia” (large farm) owners, then moved to join poor, unemployed city population A population decrease from civil war, invasions, and plague meant less people to collect taxes from Taxes were raised again, angering people, creating a vicious cycle

Social Causes Roman values of loyalty and duty to Rome began to decline Hired solders fought instead of citizen soldiers: their loyalty was purchased and easily swayed Non-Romans were hired to lead provinces Wealthy got richer, poor got poorer

Political Causes Diocletian split the empire into East and West in 293 Western half “fell” in 476 AD when the Visigoths sacked the city of Rome Eastern half survived, had political instability (22 emperors from 235-284 A.D.) Constantine legalized Christianity, his successor Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of Rome Constantine established a capital of Eastern Rome at Constantinople. Eastern Rome became the Byzantine Empire

The literal “fall” of Rome: 476 A.D. Rome’s decline was gradual and multi-causal Officially, (game show answer here) the city of Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 476 A.D.
