History of Western Civilisation - Tuesday 7th Period: Discussion 6: The Roman Empire

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

All right, class. Since I rotted your brains last Wednesday with popular culture disguised as history, I thought we'd get back on track today with a good solid discussion of the end of the Roman Empire.

As I said last week, the fall of Rome did not really mean the end of the Roman empire. The Byzantine Empire -- which you will hear about tomorrow -- lasted for another thousand years and always considered itself a continuation of old Rome.

But the cession of Rome as a superpower changed the face of history in Western Europe.

"Alien fish?" Isabel asked. "You've got to be kidding me." And no, she did not wonder if they were relatives.

"Unless Professor Tick was kidding me, no, I'm not," said Janet. She grinned. "Apparently we got to name them as extra credit."
