2 FINAL ESSAY PREP! WHAT SHOULD YOU INCLUDE? Doc: 1 Doc: 2 Doc: 3 Doc: 4 Doc: 5 Doc: 6 Doc: 7

3 Doc: 1...very few inhabitants of the empire viewed the old civilization as worthy of saving...the overwhelming majority of people had been excluded from playing an active role in their own government. They could not high office and some...could not serve in the army. Few people saw elections as important so they stopped participating in elections. Their economic plight became hopeless. As a result, most people became bound to the soil, simply toiling with little to hope or dream for, as they slipped further and further into decline... Adapted from The Course of Civilization, 1961 According to this source, what were the basic problems facing the Roman Empire? Doc: 2...Rome s fall was an inevitable effect of its grand size...borders became difficult to secure and the amount of gold needed to maintain roads and perform routine maintenance was never enough. It had grown so large it could not take care or protect itself to the level that was needed. Adapted from The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, 1778 According to this source, what problems were facing the Roman Empire?

What is happening among the Roman Emperors that may have led to Rome s decline?

5 Doc: 4 Rome s prosperity relied heavily on the wealth of the regions they conquered. As new tribes and regions were taken into their empire, their resources made Rome wealthier. All things come to an end, however, and when the empire reached its limits and could not expand further, its economic progress soon ceased. Soon, gold reserves dried up. In order to keep the number of coins in circulation the same, the Roman treasury began using less amounts of gold in each coin. Merchants began to demand more coins for their products, since they wanted to the same amount of gold they previously received. Prices rose drastically as inflation set in. Families saw their savings evaporate over night and a barter economy began to emerge...people started trading fruits, vegetables, and services to basic household items. Adapted from The Uses of the Past, 1967 What economic issues are identified as causes for decline? Doc: 5 Rome is unique in that an outside enemy did not destroy the empire; Rome started to crumble from within. As the number of young men in military declined, the army faced a serious threat. Who was going to protect its borders? In order to maintain the strong force, the Roman government recruited foreigners from the newly conquered territories to serve...at one point, the Roman army was composed almost entirely of those not originally considered to be Roman. As one can expect, this new breed of Roman soldier had very little loyalty to the empire. Adapted from Romans without Laurels, 1962 What does this selection tell us about how the military contributed to the fall of Rome?

6 This map shows the barbaric invasions of the Roman Empire prior to 476 Doc: 6 According to the map above, what caused the Roman Empire to fall? Why might this sort of attack be more difficult than if there were just one enemy?

7 Doc: 7 At the time few people would have thought the introduction of Christianity would have had a major impact on Rome...Christians were persecuted and tormented so profusely that most believed the religion was die out. Over time, however, the religion spread and grew. Christianity taught its followers to be pacifists, so many refused to fight and the borders became less secure...people so dedicated their lives to this religion that many top officials chose church life instead of lives dedicated to Rome...Too, as Rome s infrastructure began to collapse -- roads needed repair, buildings needed restored -- money was instead spent on building churches and monasteries. Adapted from The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, 1778 In what ways did Christianity lead to the downfall of the Roman empire? When things needed repair, is it better to spend your money on the repair or on a new cell phone? Why? Did Rome follow this advice? How do you know?
