Empires

The Height of the Roman Empire

Awesome? Boundaries Mercenary System Cost of the military Citizens Physically far from government Culturally different

Decline Begins No Specific Date Attempts to stop it Diocletian 285 CE Division Tries to collect more taxes Reforms Too Late Not designed to rule polyglot

Christianity: Friend or Foe? Diocletian Persecutes Christians Wants to be worshiped as God Constantine Converts to Christianity Patriotism declines Focus on Personal Salvation

Reasons for Decline No single collapse Political Confusion/Corruption Plagues  – Measles, Malaria, etc Upper-class become pleasure-seeking Economic Issues Invasions Battle of Adrianople -First Loss on Home Turf

The Last Straw Last (Western) Roman Emperor deposed in 476 CE Romulus Augustus falls to Odoacer The Byzantines keep going until 1453 CE

The Gupta (320-550 CE)

Reasons for the Decline of the Gupta Demand for cloth goes down = Less Trade Political Issues Administrative inefficiency inability to control local princes (Rajput) Weak successors Dynastic dissension Some internal rebellion

The Last Straw: The Hephthalites

Where are they from?

What does the end look like? Empire disintegrates White Huns are pushed back towards Persia Persia wins Ends in 1000 years of Fragmentation
