When did the Roman Empire fall (your thoughts)?
#33
Quote:The timeline of the fall really comes down to how you define the Empire.
We usually think of the Roman empire as the area around the Mediterranean, ruled by an emperor (or emperors) based at Rome. There may be some mileage in considering whether an entity no longer ruled from Rome could still justifiably be considered as a "Roman empire" (whether or not its elite still wanted to call themselves "Roman"). :unsure:
