Fall of Rome

Fall of Roman Empire Third century AD, Rome faced many problems Came from within and from the outside Marcus Aurelius – He marked the end of Pax Romana (180 AD)

Economy Trade became disrupted – tribes invaded Rome reached their limit of expansion so could not depend on more gold and silver Economy suffered from inflation – prices rose, value of money dropped Soil lost its fertility – led to food shortages Disease

Military and Political Military in disarray Roman soldiers gave allegiance to their commanders, not Rome Roman Empire hired mercenaries – foreign soldiers who fought for money. Paid less than Roman soldiers Citizens also lost loyalty With everything happening, they just didn’t care

Diocletian Became emperor 284 AD Strict ruler/reforms – limited freedoms Restored order Doubled the army Believed the empire had grown too big Divided empire into East (Greek) and West (Latin) He keeps overall control, but shares power in West He rules the East Became ill – civil war broke out

Constantine Restored back to one ruler again Takes over in 312 AD Restored back to one ruler again Moved the capital city from Rome to Byzantium

Constantine City took on a new name of Constantinople After his death, empire divided again! East survived West fell

Western Empire Crumbles 370 AD – invaded by Mongol nomads from N Asia – Huns Germans attacked from the North

Western Empire Crumbles Attila the Hun United the Huns 100,000 soldiers Terrorizes both East/West Empires 70 cities plundered in East -- Constantinople survives Advanced on Rome in 452 AD Didn’t conquer – Famine - Disease

Eastern Empire Remains Final emperor – Romulus Augustulus (14) West is completely gone, East is renamed -Byzantine Lasted 1000 years Preserved Greek and Roman Culture
