What happened with the Roman army in 300 CE to 500 CE?

Between 300 CE and 500 CE, the Roman army faced significant challenges, including internal strife, external invasions, and the empire's division. The establishment of the Tetrarchy in 284 CE aimed to stabilize the empire, but subsequent conflicts, such as the barbarian invasions, strained military resources. The Western Roman Empire gradually weakened, culminating in the fall of Rome in 476 CE, while the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued to thrive for several more centuries. These developments marked a significant transition in European history, leading to the fragmentation of Roman authority and the rise of various successor states.


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.

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.
