Decay of the Roman Empire

The collapse of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon said that the decline of Rome is inevitable. He wrote that instead of asking why the Roman Empire was destroyed it was surprising that it lasted so long. Gibbons' argument comes down to four major arguments divided into domination, abuse of Christianity, expansion of barbarians, and loss of Roman military strength. Edward Gibbon was one of the UK's largest historians in the late 1700s. His father entered Magdalene University in Oxford, but soon after entering 1753 he decided to convert to Roman Catholics.

The slow decline of the Roman Empire initially did not affect the unity of the Mediterranean civilization. People are increasingly dissatisfied with this civilization, but it has endured that it is not easy to think of another way of thinking for a long time. The West Germanic Kingdom stuck to the oldest possible form; they were not much civilized, but the pieces of civilization they had were Romans. The east was still united under the rule of Constantinople, and they ruled by the old Roman bureaucracy in the form of Roman law. The relationship between the East and the West is not intimate, but generally friendly. In addition to Anglo-Saxon rulers in the UK, King Germerman acknowledged the nominal sovereignty of the emperor and maintained a unified emblem novel by awarding the honorary title of a savage monarch. The Pope is in close contact with the Eastern Bishop and maintains Constantinople's representative

When the West Roman Empire collapsed in the 4th and 5th centuries, the location of power in Roman times moved to Constantinople and the Eastern Roman Empire, and today it was called the Byzantine Empire. Byzantine dramas have little evidence of survival, but according to existing records tragedies, pantomime, scenes, or tragedies, comedy, dance and other entertainment facilities are very popular. Constantinople, which had not been used until the fifth century, has two theaters. But the true importance of Byzantine in the history of the drama edited the great encyclopedia called Suda which they saved many classical Greek texts and received lots of contemporary information about the Greek drama It is that.

Historian Michael Rostov and economist Ludwig von Mises believe that unfair economic policies have played an important role in the poverty and collapse of the Roman Empire. According to them, by the second century AD, the Roman Empire developed a complex market economy with relatively free trade. The tariff is low, and the law regulating the price of food and other commodities has little impact because it does not make the price significantly below the market level. However, since the 3rd century, currency declines (ie coins, silver coins, copper coins) caused inflation. Then, the price control method significantly lowers the price above its free market equilibrium level.
