What are the positive and negative results of the conquest of Rome?

The positives were that the Romans were tolerant towards the religions and custom of the conquered people and also allowed them to use their customary laws at the local level. They also built roads, bridges, aqueducts and public buildings around the empire. The empire developed an extensive trading network, and many areas of the empire benefited from this. Egypt, Tunisia and Sicily exported great quantities of grain to the city of Rome. The Romans also developed a multicultural outlook.The negatives were that the Romans were interested in power and some of the decisions which were designed to bolster power were not beneficial to the conquered peoples. They also dealt with rebellions ruthlessly and sometimes even destroyed towns. The persecution of the Christians were also a negative, but then this was replaced by toleration, and Christianity became the religion of the empire. Many rich Romans were only interested in their wealth and privilege and were insensitive towards the plight of the poor and opposed reforms aimed at helping them. They also thought that the poor were idle and subhuman. Slavery was a negative. However, slaves were war captives, and when Rome ended her conquests, not many people were enslaved. Moreover, they were in the habit of freeing them. At one point, the majority of the citizens of the city of Rome were freedmen or their descendants.

What is name of Member of germanic tribe - sacked Rome in 5th century ad?

In the 5th century C.E., Rome was sacked twice by "barbarian" forces. In 410, Alaric led a force of Goths (or, Visigoths) into Italy, sacking Rome and other cities. Later, in the 480s and 490s, a force of Germanic peoples known as Ostrogoth's invaded Italy, captured Rome, and set themselves up as the rulers of the conquered territory, thus bringing the Western Roman Empire to its formal end.


Who sacked the city of rome?

Well there are two sections of the Roman Empire, the Western and the Eastern (which didn't end until 1527), but I'm going to assume you mean the Western. Rome was sacked multiple times throughout history, but the three most prominent times are by Visigoths in 410 AD, and the Vandals in 455 AD, and the Ostrogoths.

Which empire led rome at the time of its conquest?

There was not an empire which led Rome and there was not a conquest of Rome. Rome had an empire: the Roman Empire. Although the invasions by the Germanic peoples led to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire, the city of Rome was never conquered. Ancient Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410 and by the Vandals in 455, but it was not conquered. Both Visigoths and Vandals withdrew after the sack. They did so before units of the Roman army from elsewhere in the Roman Empire would catch up with them.

Who invaded and sacked the city of Rome in 410 AD?

The Romans were conquered by a combination of: Half of their Empire breaking away and becoming the Byzantine Empire, the Invading Visigoths, Goths, and Franks from the northern territories and inner corruption and societal collapse.----But the Roman Empire was not conquered in 410 AD. The city of Rome was sacked by Visigoths, who spent three days looting, without much in the way of rape, murder, or destruction. After that the Visigoths went away and left the city alone.The government was almost entirely unaffected. The capital of the West Roman Empire was Ravenna at the time, and both the emperor, Honorius, and the senate survived completely unharmed except in reputation. Honorius remained emperor until 423, when he died of natural causes. The last emperor of the West was deposed in 476, at which time the Roman Senate asked the emperor of the East to assume control, and the Senate continued to operate in Italy until the beginning of the 7th century.The East Roman Empire lasted until 1453. During its time, it was always called the Roman Empire, and the term "Byzantine Empire" was introduced in 1557 by Hieronymus Wolf, who resurrected the name Byzantium, which Constantinople had before it was renamed and made a capital by Constantine the Great. The Byzantines would doubtless have considered the idea that they lived in a "Byzantine Empire" strange.Many historians date the fall of the Roman Empire at 476, but I do not think this was done before the 18th century. The article below on the Decline of the Roman Empire, gives no earlier date, but indicates that there was speculation on when the Roman Empire fell before Gibbon used the date 476 in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, which was published in 1776.There are links below.
