In which specific year and what date did the roman empire fall?
It was, of course, a gradual process. Specific dates are impossible, though many are given by various simplifiers. The end is sometimes placed at 4 September AD 476, when the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire, Romulus Augustus, was deposed, and not replaced. However, Diocletian, who retired in AD 305, was the last sole Emperor of an undivided Empire whose capital was the City of Rome. After the division of the Empire by Diocletian into East and West, each branch continued to style itself as "The Roman Empire." The Western Roman Empire declined and fell apart (see Decline of the Roman Empire) in the course of the 5th century. The Eastern Roman Empire, centered on Nova Roma (founded by Constantine I on the Greek city of Byzantion), which would later adopt Greek as its main language, known widely today as the Byzantine Empire, preserved Greco-Roman legal and cultural traditions along with Hellenic and Orthodox Christian elements for another millennium, until its eventual collapse with the conquest of Constantinople, as Constantine's city become known, at the hands of the Ottoman Empire in 1453.

The other was the highlands of Scotland. The favoured the fierce resistance to Roman expansion by the Picts. Given that the mountains made it difficult to subdue them and that Scotland was a peripheral area with little economic benefits, the Romans withdrew and built two walls as protection from raids by the Picts: Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall. Apart from the above, Geographical obstacles, such as mountains and wide rivers, were no deterrent for Roman expansion.
What was the role of the Roman Forum?
A Roman forum was a combination marketplace and civic center. It was the gathering place of a Roman town where trials were held, civic announcements were posted and news was dispersed. There were shops and food bars either directly in the forum or in close proximity. The main forum or the Forum Romanum, was the heart of the city of Rome and eventually the center of the empire. It not only had the above mentioned aspects, but it was also the place where the hut of Romulus was supposed to have been, and the lacus curtius, the navel of Rome, from which all distances were measured.

What king ruled over the powerful Eastern Empire and chose to move its capital to Byzantium?
Byzantium was redeveloped, turned into the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople in 330 by Constantine the Great. He was not a king, he was an emperor. He was not the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire either. To start with he was a co-emperor. There were several co-emperors who ruled parts of the Roman Empire. He was in charge of Britannia, Gaul and Spain in the western part of the Roman Empire. Later he became the sole emperor of the whole of the Roman Empire. Not long before the above, Emperor Diocletian designated Nicomedia (in northwestern Turkey) as the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and Milan as the imperial capital of the western part of the Roman Empire. He co-ruled with co-emperor Maximian. He took charge of the eastern part of the empire and Maximian took charge of the western part. It has to be stressed that Diocletian did not split the empire, which remained a single and united empire. It was an administrative arrangement designed to improve the defences of the vast frontiers of the Roman Empire. Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire are terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans had only one term: Roman Empire. Constantine the Great moved the capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire from Nicomedia to the nearby Byzantium.
