Rome and their decline



When Rome divided into East and West sides, the ruling became easier. Constantine became the Diocletian emperor and the attacks of Christians ended, allowing that religion to grow. However, in the end, German people and also those of Europe and Asia invaded to either running away from the Huns or looking for new land and wealth. Germanic tribes took the Rome and the West side of the empire fell. However,
the Eastern side of the empire grew and soon became the Byzantine Empire.

The east side became stronger as Constantine shifted the power from west to east. Maybe the east side of Rome was stronger and wasn't as easy to be conquered. (Constantine has some big eyes.) :D

Yes, the Bysantine Empire (Eastern side of Rome)grew stronger while the Western side fell. Byzantine emperors considered themselves the final decision of religous issues.

As Constantine ruled, the east side of the Rome grew stronger and more powerful whereas the western side just fell. By the way, cool picture.
