Rome Declines Roman Empire begins its decline at the end of the reign of Marcus Aurelius. Hostile tribes outside the boundaries of the empire disrupt trade. Spending drains the Roman economy.

Marcus Aurelius Commmodus

Decline Continues Desperate to pay its mounting expenses, the government raised taxes. Inflation. Over worked and war torn soil led to agricultural problems. Repeated attacks. Lack of patriotism. Mercenaries.

Attempts to Reform Under Diocletian Diocletian doubles the size of the Roman army. Controls inflation by setting fixed prices on goods. Divides the Empire into the Greek speaking East and the Latin speaking West. Borders become safe.

Diocletian Declared himself the son of Jupiter and was presented to the public in a godlike manner. Limited the freedoms of Romans. Passed a decree to persecute Christians. Prestige of the emperor is restored, however.
