﻿**__The fall of the Roman Empire and its Theory on how it happened__**

The Roman Empire was massive. IT was so large that they eventuallty had to split up the empire. they basiccaly turned the mediteranean into thier own private lake. The Romans were so strong that nobody wanted to challenge their rule, because most empires at that time probably thought they would be plubmeted when they wanted to deafeat the Romans. The Roman Empire was a good empire but when Julius Caesar died the whole, Empire was split into two. The New Capital of Rome was called Constantinople, and it was named this in 330 A.D. The person who split Rome and made the new capital is Constantine. The new capital was put to the eastern part of the Empire. The western side of the Empire was overrun by the Barbarians and other peoples. At some point the genrals of the empire decided to fight over the empire. Later on in 800 A.D., Charlgemagne took over the Lombard king and made the empire his own. Charlgegemage took all of the cities taken from the Lombards and he joined the papacy. When he was joining the papacy he had made more sepremacy for those looking for it.
