Homework Review Section 4 Chapter 6 Review Homework Review Section 4

Inflation When the value of money drops and the costs of goods rise. One of the key economic reasons for the weakening of the Roman Empire – gold and silver drain (to China for silk and other luxury goods).

barbarian An “uncivilized” person. From the Roman perspective any tribe living outside the empire was a barbarian.

Mercenary A soldier who fights only for the pay/$$. Not for the cause or country. One of the key military reasons the Empire weakened as the Roman soldiers were only loyal to whoever was paying them.

Diocletian Roman Emperor in 284 A.D. who reforms the empire by splitting it into two halves – and east and west – to make it more manageable. This split would ultimately cause the West to fall (in 476 A.D.) and the East to become the Byzantine Empire (surviving until 1453).

Constantinople New Capital City of the Eastern Roman Empire. Originally Byzantium, this city would thrive due to its strategic control over trade. Constantinople would be the Capital city of the Byzantine Empire until 1453 when it is captured by the Turks and made into Istanbul – the capital of modern Turkey today!

Alaric & the Goths Gothic leader who at first fought for the Romans but was betrayed and then fought against them. The Goths were a Germanic Tribe from Eastern Europe (The Visigoths & the Ostrogoths). United the Gothic tribes and sacked the city of Rome in 410 A.D. Established a new Gothic Kingdom in what is today southern France and northern Spain.

Attila & the Huns Infamous Hun leader who terrorized the Eastern and Western Roman Empires but never captured Rome or Constantinople. The Huns were a fierce nomadic tribe from the Asian Steppes which invaded Eastern Europe looking for “greener pasture.” – They may have turned to Europe due the the Chinese Great Wall. Atila Carved out a piece of the Roman Empire for his people that would become the country of Hungary today!

3. The Empire declined because of Military: Instability – weak leadership, mercenaries. Economic: Inflation, unemployment, stagnation Social: citizen indifference (people no longer cared) Political: Corruption

4. Diocletian succeeds in saving the empire b/c Divided Empire was easier to rule (east & west) Doubles the size of the military Checked inflation (put in price controls but they only worked in the short term).

5. Why did the Germanic Tribes invade? To flee the invading Huns! They saw potential safety in the Empire.

6. Why did the split work? Two emperors, closer to the “fires” and so more easily address the issues. Smaller area easier to defend West dies but Eastern side lives on because it has better access to the best trading sites.

7. Most serious internal threats? Citizen Indifference – when people no longer CARE they will not make the sacrifices necessary to make the empire work. Such as paying your taxes, which should be FAIR; volunteering for service, in either public office or the military.
