Rome's Final King

Crash! Swords hit, shields break, and men fall! While I was studying the Fall of Rome, I noticed three main reasons Rome had fallen. The three reasons that I believe why Rome fell was the Goths sacking, overpopulation, and natural disasters.

From 200 CE to 476 CE the fall of Rome began, and ended. Rome began in Italy surrounded by the mediterranean sea and expanded over time. They took over great parts of Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. Rome experienced a great time of prosperity filled with different cultures and (known as the golden age), and eventually, due to all of the flaws and problems, fell. I believed that the reason it fell was due to many external, and internal factors. Some of the internal factors that lead to the fall of Rome were; loss/less labor and war-like difficulties. While the some of the external factors where great things out of their control, such as plagues and getting attacked.

During it's time Rome was one of the biggest powerhouses on the planet. Rome had many achievements but what comes up must come down and Rome eventually fell. Some people still don't know what the main reason why rome fell but there are a couple of reasons it fell. Some reasons our having a weak army, political and leadership problems, and economic problems. Here is some evidence why Rome fell.

Fall: when Rome lost their leadership and many people in the area. When Rome lost their leadership and many people left the area, it “fell”. Ancient Rome fell around 200 B.C. Lots contributed to the fall. Things such as the instability of leaders and the many invasions. Not to mention things they couldn’t control such as natural disasters. All of these led to the fall of Rome.

Ancient Rome fell for many reasons. This essay has focused on just three. One of them was that Rome had a corrupt government. Rome also had lots of natural forces disrupting them. Their military played a big part, too.

The fall of the Roman Empire is one of the most important and world-shaping events in history, but it provides more than just an interesting study of the past, it also holds many important lessons for Americans and the western world today.

Have you ever built something and watched it be destroyed? Most people have experienced it and so did the Ancient Romans. The Ancient Romans Empire, located in Europe and Northern Africa in around 44 B.C.E to 476 C.E, was a strong empire that ruled Mediterranean. But eventually it fell, In fact, the primary reasons for the “Fall” of Rome were because of Army, natural disasters, and plague.

Shabil Khan Mr. Blount Rome used to be one of the greatest empires in history. Rome had amazing architecture, had a great army, was great in art and literature, and had an incredible government. The things that led to the fall of Rome were internal and external reasons. One of the internal reasons that led to the fall of Rome was the lack of strong military.

In the third century the Roman Empire was in turmoil. Civil wars were tearing the empire apart. Several different individuals took their turn as leader of the empire and attempted to fix things but none were in office or stuck around for more than a couple years at a time. All this changed when Diocletian rose through the ranks to become emperor.

Livy’s description of Romulus as a man with exemplary strength and military prowess helps solidify his position as a truly great Roman.

Tarquin, the fifth king of rome from 535 to 509 b.c. was known for being one of the craziest and most savage kings of roman history and had also later been overthrown in 509 b.c. I believe we can all relate to tarquin in some way shape or form. We all are crazy in some way as we believe that there is this giant being in the sky somewhere out there that controls this world and works everything that goes on in it. Tarquin was this was this way in how he ruled all of rome (although he was a little more brutal than we are). A good example of this is in his early rule, he gathered all the latin town leaders together and held a meeting with them over relationships with rome. One of the latin leaders didn’t trust tarquin and told his fellow leaders

Caligula’s universal condemnation has been seen throughout the writings of ancient historians over time, due to his evil representation and ‘monster’ like behaviour. The impact Caligula had over Rome is not remembered for the better, for his legacy shows the impact that he left behind was the horror and twisted ways of his reign. However he did have little impact that remains beneficial to Rome, for the first six months of his reign was nothing compared to how he left it. Firstly Caligula was considered a welcome breath of fresh air when he took to the throne. In the first six months of his reign people celebrated him, many believed he would take in his father’s footsteps. Secondly after the first six months of his reign Caligula fell seriously

At this stage in the Roman Empire things were extremely dangerous and many power struggles within the royal family were arising. With the demise of the

The documentary “Rome - The Power & Glory” summaries the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, as well as its origin within the ancient civilization of the Etruscans. As the main force in ancient civilization, the documentary also describes the massive influence Rome had on future empires. It’s through the use of commentary, reenactment, artifacts, ruins, and surviving art that the successes and failures of the Roman Empire are displayed within this documentary. Within the documentary one of the most notable features is the evidence that Rome had politically impacted other world powers like France during Napoleon Bonaparte’s reign and the early years of the United States of America.

These frequent and violent changes in leadership sent a message of weakness and vulnerability to people living outside of the Roman Empire. Under the ‘Reign’ column of Document A’s chart, it shows that many Emperors only ruled for a few years. Why? The next column over says they were all assassinated, or died in another, unpleasant way. As a result of always needing a new ruler, Rome could possibly have been seen as vulnerable and unstable. Think about it like this: would you be ready for school if you needed a new pencil every minute? It’s like that, in
