When the emperor moved to constantinople how did that affect the importance of rome?
Constantine's decision to designate Constantinople as the imperial capital did not have a great effect of Rome's position in the empire. Her position had been declining for some time. This was because the Romans had found it difficult to defend their frontiers along the rivers Rhine and Danube from numerous attempted invasions by outsiders. Since Rome was distant from these frontiers, she became marginalised. The frontiers areas became the important part of the empire and as a result of continuous military efforts to defend them, many emperors were humble men who had rose through the military ranks and were from Pannonia, an area along the mid-Danube. The importance of some cities along the Danube increased . Milan (in northern Italy) became very important because, being close to the Alps, it became the military base for sending troops to the frontiers along the Alps and the river Rhine and for the defence of northern Italy. Rome had already ceased to be the imperial capital under Diocletian, Constantine's predecessor. Diocletian had designated Nicomedia (in north-western Turkey) as the imperial capital for the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan as the imperial capital of the western part of the empire.

Did the army lose its disclipine and thus endanger the empire and cause?
The Roman army lost its discipline after the invasions of the empire, not before. This made the Romans unable to respond to the invasions. Prior to the invasions, the problems of the Roman army was that it was overstretched (due to many attempted invasions at points on the frontiers of the empire which were distant from each other) and that it had an insufficient number of soldiers. Due to the latter, the Romans recruited Germanic mercenaries and relied on Germanic allies in some areas.

Where did the barbarians live?
Barbarian was a word which the Romans adopted from the Greeks and meant foreigner. For the Greeks it referred to anyone who did not speak Greek. Originally the Roman use of the term barbarian referred to non-Romans. When Roman citizenship was extended to all freemen in the Roman Empire by the emperor Caracalla in 215, and all the conquered peoples became Romans, barbarian came to refer to the peoples who lived outside the Roman Empire. Therefore, the barbarians came to be the peoples who lived on the other side of the frontiers of the Roman Empire: north-western Europe, eastern Europe, Persia, Arabia and Africans who lived south of the border of the empire.
