Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
Objectives • Know the various causes for the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. • The economic reasons • The social reasons • The political reasons • The military reasons
The Roman empire hits its high water mark in AD 180 with the death of Emperor Marcus Aurelius • It’s all downhill from there.
Economic reasons • The Roman economy was partially based on constant expansion. • This brought new land, new money, new treasure, new slaves, and new taxes. • Once the empire stopped expanding, that influx of goods stopped. • Rome was losing money! High cost of wars and defense. • Too much spent on luxury items.
• INFLATION! • The value of coinage was based on how much gold or silver was in the coin. • Less gold coming into Empire. • Less gold being put into coins • DRASTIC drop in value of money coupled with a rise in prices.
• Grain production also decreased due to over farming and warfare. • This meant feeding people became more difficult.
• Not keeping up with the times. • Relied too much on slave labor instead of developing new technologies to make work easier.
Social reasons • Unemployment. • Costly to be a government worker, competent people just didn’t want to do it. • Morals and work ethic • Many Romans had become accustomed to the easy life of bread and circuses. • These were also done at state expense, which drained the public treasury.
Political reasons • The problem with political office being undesirable. • Imperial Succession • No established rule for succession • This meant that it was up for grabs. • Frequent civil war towards end of Empire!
The split • The empire is eventually and officially divided into two halves: the western and eastern Roman empires.
Military reasons • This is a big cause. • Long borders-expensive to defend • Mercenaries- • Rome also began hiring mercenaries. These guys worked for cash, not loyalty, and could be highly unreliable. • Discipline and Loyalty to Roman Empire collapsed!
• Invasion • Barbarians started invading the empire and the legions couldn’t stop them. • Germanic tribes from North and West • Huns from the East-Attila!
• The barbarians proceed to run rampant over Roman territory. • Left Rome in CHAOS! • 476-Romulus Augustulus (14)-LAST emperor of Rome deposed by Odoacer (German general). • ROME’S POWER IN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE EMPIRE HAD DISAPPEARED!
