The Decline & “Fall” of Rome

Review The republic phase of Roman history ended after the failure of the Second Triumvirate. This began the empire phase of Roman history. The early empire was governed by the five good emperors. These emperors enacted political, social, and legislative reforms. Many of these emperors also spared no expense in improving Roman cities. The last of the good emperors, Marcus Aurelius, died in 180 A.C.E. After Aurelius’ death, Roman history is marred by political, economic, and social upheaval.

Political Upheaval Septimius Severus (193-211) After the reign of Marcus Aurelius, Rome succumbed to a paralyzing cycle of civil wars. During this period (235-284), the Roman throne was held by whoever had the military might to seize it. There were 22 emperors in this 49 year time span. “Pay the soldiers, and ignore everyone else.”

Economic Upheaval Decline in trade & small industry Farm production declined Labor shortages due to plague Led to lack of money

Military Upheaval Invasions and civil wars Plague affected military recruiting No money to recruit Rome was forced to resort to enlisting Germanic tribes into military service, but Germans had no understanding of Roman and little loyalty for the emperors or Rome.

New Life Diocletian (284-305) Believed the empire had become too large for one ruler. Divided the empire into 4 sections Each section had a “little” emperor Diocletian retained supreme control Diocletian

New life Diocletian also enacted reforms that were aimed at combating the issues facing Rome’s weakening army and her ever dwindling economy Constantine (306-337) -Continued Diocletian’s policies Centered his focus on the creation of a new city: Constantinople

A quick word The reforms of Diocletian and Constantine failed! The empire is consolidated into two halves. Constantinople becomes the capitol of the Eastern Roman Empire

The “Fall” Floods of PNB’s invade the Western Roman Empire, especially beginning in the latter half of the fourth century. Rome is unable to withstand the strain. In 476 A.C.E., Romulus Augustulus, is deposed by the head of his army, a German. This marks the end of the Western Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire survives for another 1,000 years.
