The Roman Empire is said to have begun when the Senate granted the title Augustus to Octavian on January 4, 27 BC. The date of the fall of the Roman Empire is usually given as 476 AD, though the empire did not really fall on that date.

The Roman Empire divided and was reunited several times, the last division being in 395. The event of 476 was the abdication of the last Emperor of the West, in favor of the Emperor of the East. But the West Roman Empire had already become a chaotic mess and never recovered. The emperors of the East Roman Empire tried to reconquer the West, but never got very far.

The East Roman Empire finally fell in 1453. Our current historians refer to the East Roman Empire from about 500 AD to 1453 as the Byzantine Empire.

What was the time period callen when the Roman Empire fell?

The period after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire is the Middle Ages. It is divided into Early Middle Ages (5th to 10th century) High Middle Ages (1001 to 1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300 to 1500). The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected by the invasions by Germanic peoples which caused the western part of the Roman Empire to fall and continued to exist until 1453. Historians call the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part Byzantine Empire.


What was Europe like after the roman empire fell?

The Roman Empire's fall left Europe vunerable to the savage attacks of the Vikings and the tribes from the east. Christianity took over for some time, and then the Barbarian tribes from the east came into the west and moved the people further west-ward. After some time, the Vikings came down from the North and first attacked Lindisfarne and then the rest of the monastaries or what not. This era is called the Medieval Era and it goes on for hundreds of years.

What event in 800 CE angered the byzantine empire?

On December 25, 800, Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Roman People by Pope Leo III in Rome, creating the empire we call the Carolingian Empire today, but Pope Leo and Charlemagne called the Roman Empire at the time. One little problem with this is that when the West Roman Empire fell in the 5th century, the East Roman Empire did not, and continued along, all the while calling itself the Roman Empire; today we call the medieval East Roman Empire the Byzantine Empire. Empress Irene was the empress of what she called the Roman Empire, and suddenly she got news that King Charles of the Franks was calling himself emperor of the Roman Empire. Of course, she was not happy about this.

Who crowned Charlemagne emperor?

Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Emperor in St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome, on December 25, 800 AD. At the time he crowned Charlemagne, he referred to the empire as the Roman Empire. Today, historians call Charlemagne's empire the Carolingian Empire, but at the time, people in Western Europe called it the Roman Empire, as Pope Leo III had. The people of the Byzantine Empire of the time, who had always called their country the Roman Empire, and would as long as it existed, were not very happy about this.
