When Exactly Did the Roman Empire Fall? (Encore)
Summary
This episode of Everything Everywhere Daily explores the complexities of determining when the Roman Empire definitively fell. It challenges the common textbook date of 476 AD, presenting various alternative dates ranging from the split of the empire in 395 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453, and even later claims of succession. The discussion highlights the gradual decline and transformation of the empire, rather than a single, abrupt end.Episode description
The Roman Empire was one of the greatest empires in the ancient world.

Learn more about exactly when the Roman Empire fell and if such a thing even makes sense on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
