Introduction Some people say Rome started with the 7 hills, others say it started by Romulus and Remus. Rome developed by settlers, Latins, Greek, and Carthians and other cultures. Rome developed from a few villages to a civilization. Rome was named by Romulus, he killed his brother Remus and became king. In A.D. Rome was called Italy after the peninsula. Rome became very strong and took over Spain, Germany, France, Britian, Greece, and part of northern Africa. Other civilizations in the eastern were jealous, so they marched to Rome.
 * The Fall of Ancient Rome**

Ignorant Romans Rome thought they were unstoppable, so they took over many countries. It began that Romans had too many territories so they broke Rome. Too many slaves were encountered; Rome was falling apart. Many Romans were put out of a job because all the slaves were doing their jobs. Many Romans couldn't afford food, and the rich were thriving and lazy because all the slaves were working for them. If the Romans set free all the slaves, the slaves would probably start a riot, and the rich would be unhappy. If they were unhappy, they could cause a lot of trouble with their power. Romans were so poor that they sold themselves into slavery in hopes to get free food. Also, the German speaking peoples from the north were invading the territories of Rome because they were tired of them having so much power.  The Fall Of Rome A number of people say that when Diocletian divided Rome into eastern and western empires governed by separate emperors caused Rome to decline. The eastern half of the two empires became the Byzantine Empire, with its capital at Constantinople, or modern Istanbul. The western half remained in the center of Italy. Many say the Fall of Rome was a process that was ongoing, lasting more than a century. Since Rome still exists today, many people argue that it never did actually fall at all. Some people choose rather to say that Rome adapted instead of saying that it fell.

Fallen Rome Rome was the strongest city in the European peninsula. Romans thought they were the strongest so they celebrate for the birth of Rome. On the day they celebrated, many Romans gave up on protecting the city, so they were vulnerable for an attack. Since no one was guarding the walls, intruders attacked. Slaves were freed, but thousands died in gladiator fights. Rome was falling apart.

 Rome's Weakness These intruders (more than 1 country) took over Rome, the strongest of the sea. One of the countries that attacked Rome were eastern modern-day Turkey. Others from the east also helped attack Rome. Since Rome lost, their emperor was used as a stepping stool for the Turkish emperor to get on his horse. The Turkish king did it in order to humiliate Rome. After they used him as a steeping stool, they skinned and burned the Roman emperor and hung up his skins for his weak and humilated country to see.

The End Of Rome While the western empire was continuing to weaken, the peoples from the north continued to settle into more parts of Ro me. In 410 A.D. their soldiers took over Rome itself. In 476 A.D., Rome's last emperor was kicked off the throne. The city of Rome, which was once all powerful in the west of the Mediterranean, was no longer having a loot of influence on the other countries. The enormous empire of Rome had finally been defeated. Can Rome be forgiven for all their mistakes from Christianity? [|The Fall of Rome], [|Google Maps]
