EL COMIENZO DEL FIN<\/span><\/p>\n

It was under Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD) that Rome began to suffer conflict, war and other unrelated problems of famine and disease.\u00a0 Marcus Aurelius\u2019 19-year-old son Commodus was known for decadence, cruelty and above all, incompetence; he was eventually killed by his own advisors and a period of civil war began.<\/span><\/p>\n

Septimius Severus restored peace but the <\/span>Severan dynasty<\/b> (the last hereditary rulers) was disturbed by highly unstable family relationships, as well as constant political turmoil.\u00a0 From 235 A.D. on, generals were crowned Emperor by their troops and the next fifty years saw 41 Emperors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

When <\/span>Diocletian<\/b> came to power in 284 A.D., the government of the empire was divided between the two senior emperors, the <\/span>augusti<\/span><\/i>, and their juniors and designated successors, the <\/span>caesares<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diocletian and his successor, <\/span>Galerius<\/b>, held power in the east while the west was ruled by <\/span>Maximian<\/b> and <\/span>Constantius<\/b> \u2013 the four of them were known as <\/span>the Tetrarchy<\/b>.\u00a0 The unity and stability of the Roman empire suffered greatly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately it came down to <\/span>Maxentius<\/b> (Maximian\u2019s son) in the West and <\/span>Constantine<\/b> (Constantius\u2019 son) in the East.\u00a0 The <\/span>Battle of the Milvian Bridge<\/b> (Ponte Milvio in Rome) in 312 A.D. ended with Constantine who took sole control and began to change the shape of the Empire.\u00a0 After legalising Christianity and building the first Christian churches (including St Peter\u2019s Basilica) he turned his focus East, where the wealth was.\u00a0 Byzantium was renamed <\/span>Constantinople<\/b> – the new capital of the Roman Empire and Rome in the west started to decline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Internal conflicts, threats from abroad and constant warfare (barbarian invasions) left the city of Rome in tatters and the treasury empty. One by one, Rome lost its provinces and in 476 A.D.;the last emperor in Rome was deposed by the <\/span>Germanic king Odoacer<\/b>.\u00a0 The Roman Empire had fallen.\u00a0 The Byzantine Empire as it is now known (Roman East), would continue until the 15th century. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
