  7. “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” And it didn’t fall in one either. http://resourcesforhistory.com/map.htm

  8. What caused the Fall of Rome? I D K….

  9. Historians Don’t Agree • There is no single answer to explain Rome’s collapse • There are many theories put forth by experts, some better respected than others • The theories put forth by historians are their arguments • They support their theories by supplying an enormous body of facts and evidence that support their arguments

  10. What problems contributed to the collapse of the Roman Empire? Let’s start by asking Tim & Moby…

  11. The Fall of Rome Internal and External Problems Lead to Collapse; Rome Comes Apart From the Inside Out

  12. Group Discussion Questions • Sometimes we will start, end, or just have time for Group Discussion Questions (GRQ) • A question will be posted on the board • Choose ONE OR TWO people to record the question(s) and responses of your group • I say one or two- because sometimes you might be asked to take a side, or asked a two part question • When other groups share, add to your response- if you think it’s worthy • Choose ONE OR TWO responsible people to keep your responses until next time • SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY

  13. Example:

  14. GDQ 9/19: Kelsey, Shay, Justin • How do you feel about clowns? • Love them -Sometimes they are terrifying • The ones in Cirque du Soleil are awesome • We need more clowns, as a nation we are facing a clown shortage • Some are really funny • Balloon animals are bad for the environment

  15. G.D.Q. • This is an election year, so unless you are living under a rock, you must be hearing something. IDK is not acceptable. • 1: When people talk about the US economy, or problems facing our economy, what do they talk about? • 2. How can slavery hurt an empire?

  16. Economic Problems Money, Money, Money, Money

  17. Economic Problems • High Taxes • Funded a gigantic army and government • Decline in Trade • High Unemployment • Not enough jobs in general, and less jobs w/ decent pay • Many jobs are also held by slaves

  18. Slavery • Treatment depended on owner • From domestic servant, farm worker, manual labor, or thrown in gladiator games • 100 BC- historians estimate 1/3 of population was enslaved

  19. Income Gap: Rich vs. Poor • Gapbetween rich and poor grew wider • In simple terms “The rich grew richer, the poor got poorer” • Wealthy grew “Mega Rich” while an increasing number lived in poverty and barely survived

  20. “Hey. We need more money.” “Let’s just make some more.”

  21. Inflation in Rome • More currency ($$$) is made • The prices of all goods go up • So the currency ($$$) loses value- it becomes worth less • In Rome, emperors made more coins, but put less silver in those coins

  22. Copy this into your notes

  23. Inflation What is this word?

  24. Agricultural • Famine- shortage of food • When famine hits and disease spreads • Grain Price • Went up and down (fluctuated) greatly • Farms- • Wealthy families acquired huge tracts of land, used slaves and cheap labor to do their work • Small farms could not compete, closed down and moved to city to find work…..

  25. Disease • We think millions of Romans died from a variety of diseases that spread through the empire in waves • Killed maybe 20% of the population

  26. Political Problems: Issues in the Roman Government: Corruption, Instability, Lousy (and sometimes loony) Leadership

  27. Government Spending • Huge Military Costs • Expensive wars; costs only increasing • Constantly protecting borders • Foolish Spending • Spent money on themselves as Romans continued to suffer • Gladiator games and parties • “Bread and circuses” • Rulers spent a fortune on free food and entertainment to poor

  28. If an Emperor rules for life…how do you get a new one?

  29. Succession • Succession- rules for who takes power next, who is next in line to rule • The Romans never had clear rules • Tried to figure it out as they went • As a result, Civil war was frequent as groups and people fought for power

  30. Instability • 29 emperors in just over100 years • Assassinations, plots, power struggles • After an emperor died, rivals would fight for power (civil war) • Great generals killed off by insecure emperors • Senateand emperors did not work well together

  31. Why Another Toilet? Why?

  32. Commode • Definition according to Webster’s • Com•modenoun 1. a low chest of drawers 2. a movable stand containing a washbowl 3. a chair enclosing a chamber pot 4. a toilet • Commodus helped flush Rome down the toilet

  33. Emperor Commodus • He is not the reason for Rome’s collapse; but just one example of a really, really, horrible emperor • I don’t know if any one great ruler could have saved it • And I think he looks like Mr. Budinas

  34. Commodus • Personality: vain, paranoid, immature, cruel and obsessed w/ gladiator games • Rule was called “one long party” • Stole from treasury; spent a fortune on himself

  35. Commodus • Played tough guy in rigged gladiator matches, but was a horrible army commander • Executed great generals and leaders if he saw them as a threats • Lost Roman territory • Ignored senate • Bribed army officials • Eventually assassinated

  36. Diocletian • Tried to save empire by splitting it in half • Thought it would be easierto rule • But this led to power struggles • No one wanted to settle for half • Who wants to be Co-Emperor? • Diocletian’s plan to split the empire to help it didn’t work • Killed the most Christians • Led to resentment and rebellion

  37. Diocletian’s Divisions

  38. Memory Devices mmmm….Rome • Diocletain • Di= two; he split empire into two • Di= as in die; he killed more Christians than any other emperor of Rome West Rome East Rome

  39. Christianity in the Roman Empire

  40. Christianity • Since 1 AD, Christianity was spreading through the Roman Empire • Christianity’s founder, Jesus of Nazareth, was crucified by Roman officials • His followers believed Jesus to be the messiah, or savior, of mankind • Followers called: Christians

  41. The Threat of Christianity • Roman officials felt threatened by Christianity • Refused to serve in army • Would not worship Roman emperor as a God • “Power in Numbers” • Christianity sought to include poor; the poor greatly outnumbered the rich • Worried they would rebeland overthrow empire • Loyal to Christian beliefs over empire

  42. Persecution of Christians • Persecution- to treat repeatedly in a cruel or unjust way • Roman officials blamed Christians for the problems plaguing the empire; scapegoats • So they persecutedChristians; outlawed services, imprisoned them, killed them, threw them into Gladiator games

  43. Christianity in Rome • Many Christians became martyrs • A martyr is someone who dies for their beliefs or cause • Tried to stamp out Christianity; but it didn’t work

  44. Constantine and Christianity • First Christian Roman Emperor • Converted after experiencing a miracle in battle • Issued Edict of Milan: declared religious freedom in Roman Empire • Outlawed persecutionof Christians

  45. Constantine and Christianity • BuiltChristian churches, closed Roman temples • Council of Nicea- started by Constantine, officials met to settle disputes and outline basic beliefs of the Church

  46. Constantine Goes To War • Went to war with Emperor of Eastern Half, Licinius • Why? Licinius was still allowing persecution of Christians • Constantine wins • Reunites Empire- rules both E. and W. halves, but then it’s divided again after he dies

  47. Military Problems Western Rome is ….going ….going….gone.
