He founded what historians call the Carolingian empire. Some people rather loosely refer to it as the Holy Roman Empire. It called itself the Empire of the Romans, which was confusing because it was not the only country of the time to do so.

What did the Romans call the people who lived outside Italy?

The Romans called the people who lived outside of Italy by their names, such as Egyptians, Britons, Greeks, etc. Sometimes they narrowed it down to tribal names such as the Helvitii, Batavii, etc. There was also a general term for the peoples outside Italy: provinciales (provincials). This name was derived from the term province. The Romans turned the territories they conquered into provinces of the empire. There is a misconception that the Romans called those living outside of Italy barbarians. The term "barbarian" was a Greek word meaning anyone who was not a Greek. It basically meant foreigners. The Romans adopted this term and called barbarian peoples who lived outside the empire and even some peoples who lived inside the empire, at its periphery. The emperor of the east Zeno was unpopular because he was considered a barbarian as he was from Isauria, in Turkey, close to Syria. Before Roman citizenship was extended to all freemen in the empire, the provinciales were the 4th category of citizenship in the empire. Through this, they enjoyed the rights of jus gentium (the law of nations). This meant that the provinciales enjoyed some legal protection by the Roman state. Their litigation cases against Roman citizens were judged by the praetor peregrinus (chef justice for foreigners) who was meant to make impartial and just rulings. The jus gentium regulated the interactions between Romans and non-Romans. The word nation had a different meaning back then. It referred to ethnic groups. This law was based on principles of natural law; that is, on the idea that justice came from the human mind, and therefore independently from ethnicity or citizenship status and could apply to the non-Romans of the empire.


What did the Romans call Africa?

How did Charlemagne help the Romans?

Charlemagne did not help the Romans. He was around some 300 years after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. He helped the pope, who made him emperor of the Romans. Charlemagne created his own empire, which historians call Carolingian Empire, but was given the title of emperor of the Romans to symbolise the independence of western Europe and the papacy from the empire of the eastern Romans (also called Byzantines by historians). The eastern part of the Roman empire continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years after the fall of the western part of this empire. The eastern Roman emperors had been claiming of sovereignty over the city of Rome and the papacy.
