Key Vocabulary Diocletian - emperor of Rome who divided the empire into two halves. Constantine - emperor of Rome who made Christianity the religion of the empire and shifted the capital from Rome to Byzantium. Constantinople - formally named Byzantium, the city served as the Roman Empire’s new capital.

Essential Question What are the social, political, and economic reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire? Explain.

The Decline of Rome Roman decline begins in 180 CE Before the decline Rome’s economy was good! It was very rich in gold and silver taken from conquered territories. There were great trade routes to Asia and Africa. Farmers grew plenty of grain. Then…

Hostile tribes and pirates disrupted trade and caused expensive wars. Romans bought too many luxury items from India and China. Expansion of the Empire ended, so there were no new sources of money being created! So…

To pay its debts, the government raised taxes! (Economic) Harvests become poor because soil was overused. Farmers abandoned the land because they could not pay taxes. This caused inflation which is the drop in the value of money accompanied by a rise in prices. (Military) Military had problems with discipline and loyalty. They began to lose! The government was forced to hire mercenaries. Mercenaries were paid soldiers from other countries who fought for less pay, but were not loyal to the Empire.

3. (Political) There was no patriotism in the government 3. (Political) There was no patriotism in the government. The rich were indifferent to the government. Officials lost money having to sponsor so many festivals! No one wanted to serve in the government because it was too expensive for them! The army then took over the government which made it UNSTABLE!

Amazingly, the empire remained intact for another 200 years because of reforms made by emperors. Emperor Diocletian Took control in 284 AD Restored order in the Empire and increased its strength Doubled the size of Roman Army Set fixed prices for goods-controlled inflation Forced famers to stay on their land and other workers to stay in jobs for life Divided Roman Empire into an Eastern Half and Western Half.

The Roman Empire Is Divided Roman Empire Divides East Greek speaking Greece, Anatolia, Syria, Egypt Ruler: Diocletian Rich: Empires greatest trade centers and cities West Latin Speaking Italy, Spain, Gaul, Britannia Ruler: Maximus Poor Civil War (312 AD) Constantine gains control of the West after the Civil War!

Fall of Rome Constantine The Western Empire would fall in 476 AD Creates new capital in East Secures control of East Single Ruler Moves capital from Rome to Byzantium…later renamed Constantinople Center of power shifts from west to east (324 AD) East would flourish Byzantine Empire lasted another 1000 years The Western Empire would fall in 476 AD
