Why is Rome called Rome?
One of Rome's foundation legends tells of the twin brothers Romulus and Remus. They were said to have been descendants of Venus (as descendants of Aeneas) and fathered b…y Mars. When they became adults, they decided to found a city of their own. Romulus claimed the new city should be built on the Palatine Hill and Remus claimed the city should go up on the Aventine Hill. They decided to settle their dispute by means of augury. However, augury yielded no solutions, so Romulus started to build the new city on his hill. Remus taunted his brother and jumped over the trench that would become the city's wall. Since this was a sign of bad luck, Romulus was outraged and killed his brother. So, as the surviving twin, he became ruler of the new city, which took its name from him. So, Rome is derived from Romulus. (MORE)

Why did Rome fall?
The term the fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, rather than the city itself, which was never conquered. This was a process …which took several decades. The process was determined by several factors. It was precipitated by the invasions by the Germanic peoples (the Vandals, the Sueves) and the Alans (who were Iranian speakers) who invaded the empire and took over north-western Africa and part of Spain, the Alemanni who took over Switzerland and northwester France and the Burgundians who settled in east France. The loss of the agricultural rich territory in Africa lead to a significant loss in revenue for the Roman government. The Visigoths, another Germanic people, who had been allowed to settle in the eastern part of the Roman Empire and then moved to southwestern France, took advantage of the situation to take over Hispania (Spain and Portugal). The Romans lost political unity. There were usurpations and infighting which made it difficult to respond to the invasions effectively. There was also a failure by the combined fleet of the western and eastern part of the Roman Empire to dislodge the Vandals from Africa. It ended in disaster and was very costly. The Roman army became reliant on Germanic soldiers and two Germanic commanders-in chief of the Roman army installed puppet emperors (three by Ricimer, one by Gundobad and one by Orestes). Amidst this political instability, the reign of the last emperors was short. (MORE)

Is it cold in Rome?
It depends when you're talking about. Rome is never really freezing cold as some people living in north America would understand it, for example, but it can be chilly in winte…r. It snowed in February this year, for the first time in 21 years! At the moment it's fairly mild but very wet in Rome. As winter goes into early spring the weather will start to warm up and by April it will be very mild, although it can still be wet. In June and July the climate in Rome is almost unbearably hot. It them cools down again as summer goes into autumn. I've attached some links to Rome in winter and Spring which give information about specific temperatures. (MORE)

What did the fall of Rome do?
The term fall of Rome refers to the Fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, rather than the fall of the city itself, which was never conquered. This part of the empi…re fell under the weight of the invasions by the Germanic peoples. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by these invasions and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. This part of the empire was split into kingdoms of the invaders and two other Germanic peoples who had been allowed to settle in the Roman Empire as allies. The invading Vandals set up their kingdom in modern Tunisia and part of eastern Algeria until they were dislodged by the eastern Romans after the fall of the western part. The Visigoths formed their kingdom in Hispania (Spain and Portugal). The Franks expanded their kingdom in Belgium northern France into the rest of France at the expense of the Visigoths (in the southwest) and the Burgundians (in the east). They also took over the territories of the Alemanni in southern Germany and the areas they had taken from the Romans (Switzerland and north-eastern France. Thus, the Franks developed the most powerful kingdom in western Europe. The eastern Roman Emperor sent the Ostrogoths (who were allies) to take over Italy, which was in the hands of a usurper who had deposed the last Roman Emperor in the west. The Ostorgoths formed their own kingdom in Italy and the former Yugoslavia. The peoples who took over of the western part of the Roman Empire, apart from the Franks, who were pagans, followed the Arian Christian doctrine . They all converted to Catholicism. The Ostogoths, instead, stuck to Arian Christianity. Italy was then invaded by the Lombards (another Germanic people) who were pagans. Many Lombards converted to Catholicism. They were then dislodged by the Franks who were asked to intervene by the pope because they were threatening the city of Rome. Pepin the king of the Franks donated lands in central Italy to the papacy (they later became the Papal States). Pope Leo II pope asked Pepin's successor, Charlemagne (who had conquered most of western Europe) for help against a rebellion in Rome and crowned him emperor. This contributed to Christianise formerly pagan areas of western Europe and to establish the supremacy of the papacy. (MORE)
