How long did the roman empires last?

Rome began as a kingdom around 800 BCE and was then a republic, before becoming an empire. The first Roman Emperor was Octavius, who took the imperial name Augustus. He became emperor in 31 BCE.The Roman Empire split into a Western Roman Empire and an Eastern Roman Empire in 395 CE. The Western Empire ended in 476 CE. The Eastern Empire, or Byzantine Empire, ended in 1453.Depending on how you define the Roman Empire:The united empire lasted 426 yearsThe Western Empire lasted a further 81 years, for a total of 507 yearsThe Eastern Empire lasted a further 1058 years after the split, for a total of 1484 years.On a broader view, an empire should not defined by the title of its head of state or what the state is called: the Athenian Empire of the 5th Century BCE was run by a radical democracy led by magistrates. An empire is determined by having tributary states, so the early rulers of Rome being called king, and the next period being called a republic, and Augustus being called Imperator in the late 1st Century BCE is irrelevant.Rome began being an empire when it established control of the Italian Peninsula and wrested control of the Western Mediterranean from Carthage in the 3rd Century BCE. The empire lasted continuously in some form until 1453 CE when the Turks captured Constantinople, providing a total duration of some 1700 years.The Western Empire ceased to exist in 476 CE when the Goths took control, but the Empire continued on in the east, with its capital in Constantinople and was commonly known as the Roman Empire.


In which century did the fall of Rome occur?

The term fall of Rome refers to the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire (the eastern part continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years). The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a process. It occurred in the late 5th century. Many factors contributed to this. The main one was the invasions by Germanic peoples (Vandals, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians). This part of the empire crumbled under the weight of these invasions. It lost political cohesion. There was a lot of infighting and a string of usurpations. The Romans were unable to respond to the invasions. Within some eighty years all the lands of this part of the empire were lost. Many historians think that prior to the fall of this part of the empire there was a decline of the Roman Empire as a whole. The first Germanic invasions occurred in 406 BC when the Vandal, Alans, Sueves and Burgundians crossed the river Rhine which was the frontier of the Roman Empire. Historians have set 476 as the conventional date for the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. In this year, Romulus Augustus, the last emperor of the western part of the Roman Empire, was deposed by Odoacer, a Germanic military commander of the Roman army who led a rebellion of Germanic soldiers who had been stationed in Italy by the Romans and had been refused a grant of land in Italy. Some historians dispute this convention.


What time period do you call the roman empire?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Was Athens part of the Roman Empire under Augustus?

Yes it was- the former Greek capital was taken over by the Romans initially by the Roman General Sulla, and it became absorbed into the Roman Empire between 138-78 BC. It remained under Roman rule for 500 years before being relinquished by them in the AD 500s, as they focused on shifting the main base of their Empire Eastwards. This eventually mutated into the Byzantine Empire.

How long did Rome survive?

Ancient Rome lasted for 1229 years, from 753 BCE to 476 CE. According to Rome's founding myth, the city was founded on April 21, 753 BCE. The Roman kingdom lasted until 509 BCE. The Roman Republic was in place from 509 BCE to 27 BCE. Finally, the Roman Empire existed from 27 BCE to 476 CE, with the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire being founded in 330 CE.

Its last emperor, Romulus Augustus, was deposed and removed from power in 476 CE, marking the end of the Western Roman Empire.

How isolated was western Europe in the 500-800 CE?

This was just after the collapse of the western half of the Roman Empire in 476. Prior and post to this, Western Europe was in complete chaos. Barbarians were raiding and ultimately brought destruction upon the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire had controlled Western Europe for centuries, and now it was just gone, so what now? These were dangerous and isolated times and are referred to as the Dark Ages (which extends even further than 800 CE). People rarely left their home or ranged out within a couple miles. It was as if Western Europe was completely shut off from the rest of the world.
