Western Roman Empire

The Roman Empire was one of the strongest empires in terms of administrative system and law. Roman unified the ancient world. The fall of the Roman Empire can be understood by the transformation of the Roman Empire. The transformation occurs with the rise of the Eastern Empire, also when the empire divided into various successor polities and failed to impose its rule. For instance, barbarian groups played its role to change the Roman culture and successfully gained power after experiencing the economic crises due to the civil war and political instability. Germans rejected to exit from the Empire and established their own kingdom. However, the law of the Roman Empire remained unchanged during the power of Barbarian. Germans coordinated with Roman customs and law with their own legal system ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"Pa7yUCcg","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}The Transformation of the Roman West\\uc0\\u8221{})","plainCitation":"(“The Transformation of the Roman West”)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":385,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/Z7AP4LP3"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/Z7AP4LP3"],"itemData":{"id":385,"type":"post-weblog","title":"The Transformation of the Roman West","container-title":"Arc Humanities Press","URL":"https://arc-humanities.org/es/products/t-84104-115116-36-738/","language":"es","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“The Transformation of the Roman West”).

The Western Roman Empire was changed into two different empires. In Constantinople, Eastern Roman Empire was established which called themselves Roman because they carried Roman culture and belief with them. However, the German Empire was established in the west which was influenced by Greek and Christianity. Western Roman Empiredeclined when German Goth Odoacer defeated Romulus Augustus. “Slight may have been the actual strength of the Holy Roman Empire in its history of a thousand years, it was a witness to the evocative power of Rome's name.” ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"MhDyEnSI","properties":{"formattedCitation":"({\\i{}Pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-Roman-Legacy-Christianity.Pdf})","plainCitation":"(Pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-Roman-Legacy-Christianity.Pdf)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":389,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/IUJTPWWM"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/IUJTPWWM"],"itemData":{"id":389,"type":"article","title":"pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-roman-legacy-christianity.pdf","URL":"http://www.docs.writing4money.com/uploads/orders/pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-roman-legacy-christianity.pdf","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-Roman-Legacy-Christianity.Pdf) For example, the Roman Law which was the symbol of unity for the Roman Empire was used by both the new Empire which means Roman legal system remained the vital power even after the fall of the Empire.

Christianity had a great impact on the Roman Empire. For instance, the Roman Empire and civilization were defeated by Christianity, whose success leads to the new era. The Roman law was revised and modified during 443 B.C. under the influence of Christianity and Stoic philosophy. During the political crises when political unity became unstable, churches spread spiritual unity to make their position stronger. This is how "Christianity came into being and finally won supremacy.” ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"MhDyEnSI","properties":{"formattedCitation":"({\\i{}Pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-Roman-Legacy-Christianity.Pdf})","plainCitation":"(Pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-Roman-Legacy-Christianity.Pdf)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":389,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/IUJTPWWM"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/IUJTPWWM"],"itemData":{"id":389,"type":"article","title":"pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-roman-legacy-christianity.pdf","URL":"http://www.docs.writing4money.com/uploads/orders/pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-roman-legacy-christianity.pdf","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Pecm0tgu821avte27qeaf4csl0---the-Roman-Legacy-Christianity.Pdf) For instance, Rome gave Christianity a legal status afterward number of new churches were built not only in Rome but within the whole empire. Later, the Church started changing the culture and literature by giving the sophisticated rational value to Christianity. This is why Christianity is blamed for the fall of the Roman Empire.

Diocletian's division and his institution of the Tetrarchy responded to the Empire's problem in a systematic manner. For instance, Diocletian secured the border of the Empire to fight with the threat to his power. He enlarged the military and civil services. He also systematized the provision division by creating the largest and administrative government in the history of the Kingdom. He restructured the rule system in which the whole Roman Empire was shared by four men. Therefore, the whole Empire was divided into two parts with a subordinate of Caesar and that of Augustus in each part. Administrative capitals were made for both the territory which were located near the borders of the Empire. Due to the reason, Rome no longer remained the administrative capital, however, it retained the uniqueness of the city ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"RFo3I3cN","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Guided Practice\\uc0\\u8221{})","plainCitation":"(“Guided Practice”)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":387,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/HH6TQLX7"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/mlRB1JqV/items/HH6TQLX7"],"itemData":{"id":387,"type":"webpage","title":"Guided practice: continuity and change in the Byzantine Empire","container-title":"Khan Academy","abstract":"Read about the continuities and changes between the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire and complete guided practice.","URL":"https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/world-history/medieval-times/byzantine-empire/a/the-rise-of-the-byzantine-empire","title-short":"Guided practice","language":"en","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,11]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Guided Practice”).
