The eastern part of the Roman Empire, know as the Byzantine Empire, was founded by Constantine the Great in 330 AD and had a…

I believe that the current location of Camelot is in Tintagel in North Cornwall. After a summer fire burned away surfaces of the earth, it revealed hundreds of buildings that had previously been on the site. This could indicate the civilization of the people of Camelot. Also, a slate with rare inscriptions was found on the site that dated back to the 5th century, the time period of King Arthur. Another interesting indicator that this may be the location of Camelot is the cave located on the…

Christianity altered the Roman lifestyle, while the decentralization of the Empire left Western Europe without a strong political system until the formation of the Holy Roman Empire. Although these changes marked the beginning of the Byzantine Empire, an important continuity shaped the Byzantine political attitude; the…

The fall of the Roman Empire By: Owenkosi Sigudla Christianity’s contribution to the fall of Rome The fall of the Roman Empire is said to be an example of a domino effect; this comes from the idea of placing dominoes on their sides, one next to each other and then intentionally knocking the first in the line over to its neighbouring domino.
