Barbarians did not weaken the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire was the eastern half of the Roman Empire that continued to thrive while its western counterpart ceased to exist due to Barbarian conquests. The Byzantine Empire was weakened and conquered by the Turks.

What was the social structure of the byzantine empire in 395?

The Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the Roman Empire. Its citizens even called themselves Romans. Two dates-A.D. 330 and A.D. 476-are given for the formation of the Byzantine Empire, which often had shifting boundaries and was centered in Asia Minor (a peninsula in the western part of Asia) and the Balkan Peninsula (in southeast Europe). The 476 date is calculated according to the death of the last Roman emperor Theodosius the Great (347-395) in 395. At that time the Roman Empire was divided into two parts, East and West. Rome, the former capital of the Roman Empire, was located in the West Roman Empire, which came under repeated attacks from nomadic barbarian groups (wandering tribes noted for their brutality). Rome finally fell in 476, and the East Roman Empire survived as the Byzantine Empire. Much of the West Roman Empire was then absorbed into the Byzantine Empire.

Why did Rome fall in a small paragraph?

The late Roman empire was repeatedly invaded by several barbarian groups, most notably the Huns and Vandals. Due to lack of funding to urban upkeep, those who weren't rich lived in horribly and dangerous conditions. Soon, those with money left Rome to live on private estates, and they created private armies to defend their land. In the cities, inflation had increased the prices of goods immeasurably, and the Western part of the Roman Empire fell apart. The Eastern Empire underwent a change of power, and became the Byzantine Empire.


Who created Empire?

The Byzantine Empire was the original East half of the Roman Empire. After Rome's collapse, the Byzantine Empire lived through. The most famous of its rulers were Emperor Justinian and his Empress Theodora. With most of Europe under siege of barbaric groups such as the Franks, who settled in France, Justinian and Theodora had their sights set on regaining Rome's past territories along the Mediterranean Sea, wanting to regain it and call it once again 'A Roman Lake'


How was roman society divided into two groups?

In the 400s, Many countries, barbarians, tribes, & rebel armies attacked the Roman Empire,it enventualy caused half of it to be conquered. the area they conquered was called the western roman empire, & the otherp part that was left over was called the byzantine empire. the capital of the western roman empire was Rome & the capital of the Byzantine empire was Contantinople. both sides were eventualy conquered. the western was conquered by the barbarians in I mentioned at the beggining in 476 & the byzantine by the Ottomon empire in 1453 after a 40 day battle. but through all this carnage, Rome still stands to this day as one of the oldest cities on Earth.....but to a different Alliegance
