Long after Rome fell (476 A.D.) under the Germanic invaders, Byzantium continued in Constantinople. Byzantine, Russian, and Turkish cultures develop, while Christian and Islamic societies fight over religious issues and territory. The Byzantine Empire lasted over 1000 years, from the 400s until the Empire’s fall to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. One outstanding emperor was Justinian and he ruled from 527– 565 A.D.. His reign saw great Byzantine expansion across North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and even southern Spain. He wanted to restore the empire to its former Roman glory. His reign was one of the last that still used Latin as the official royal language. Greek became the new language. New Laws for the Empire Justinian seeks to revise and update laws for governing the empire Justinian Code—new set of laws consisting of four main parts Code regulates much of Byzantine life; lasts for 900 years Creating the Imperial Capital Byzantines preserve Greco-Roman Justinian launches program to culture and learning beautify capital, Constantinople Constructs new buildings; builds magnificent church, Hagia Sophia Justinian oversaw the construction of a great church in the city that would to be the shining example of Byzantine architecture.

    Athens between East and West: Athenian Elite Self-Presentation and the Durability of Traditional Cult in Late Antiquity Edward Watts T IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED that the urban centers of the Greek-speaking east more quickly dismantled traditional religious infrastructure and disrupted traditional religious I 1 customs than did cities in the west. The city of Athens, how- ever, has always fit awkwardly in this narrative. Alexandria, long Athens’ rival for cultural supremacy in the Greek world, saw its urban infrastructure violently and effectively Christian- ized in the early 390s by the campaigns and construction projects of the bishop Theophilus.2 Alexandria’s civic and political life arguably followed suit after the violence that accompanied the consolidation of episcopal power by Theo- philus’ successor Cyril and the murder of the philosopher Hypatia in the early 410s.3 Antioch and its hinterland saw its pagan institutions disrupted gradually, first through isolated incidents like the conversion (and ultimate destruction) of the 1 See, among others, C.

    Chapter 2.2 Fall of the Western Roman Empire 7.1.2 • Problems from both inside and outside caused the Roman Empire to split and the western half to collapse. A. Many problems threatened the Roman Empire, leading one emperor to divide it in half. • At its height the Roman Empire included all the land around the Mediterranean Sea. • The empire became too large to defend or govern efficiently. • Emperor Diocletian divided the empire to make it more manageable. B. Problems in the Empire • Emperors gave up territory because they feared the empire had become too large. Yet new threats to the empire were appearing. • Because so many people were needed for the army, there was no one left to farm the land. • Disease and high taxes threatened Rome’s survival. C. Division of the Empire • Emperor Diocletian divided the empire because it was too big for one person to rule. • Emperor Constantine reunited the two halves shortly after he took power. He moved the capital east, into what is now Turkey. • The new capital was called Constantinople. Power no longer resided in Rome. D. Barbarians invaded Rome in the 300s and 400s. • Not long after Rome’s capital moved, German barbarians raided the Roman Empire. • In the late 300s, a new group, called the Huns, invaded Europe. They were from Central Asia. • The Goths fled from the Huns into Rome. They moved into western Roman territory. • Additional attacks by more invaders made the empire weak. E. The Sacking of Rome • The Huns pushed a group called the Goths into Rome because they had nowhere else to go.

    Notice Applications for ATCO Heartland Generating Station Interconnection in the Strathcona County area have been received Proceeding 22596 Applications 22596-A001 to 22596-A007 The Alberta Utilities Commission, the independent utilities regulator, will be considering the electric transmission development applications in Proceeding 22596. If you feel you may be affected by these applications, you can provide input to the AUC to review before it makes its decision. The Alberta Electric System Operator has applied for approval of the need to connect the ATCO Heartland Generating Station to the Josephburg 410S Substation, under the Electric Utilities Act. AltaLink Management Ltd., under the Hydro and Electric Energy Act, has applied in a joint application to construct the facilities to meet the need identified by the Alberta Electric System Operator. The project consists of constructing approximately 5.6 kilometres of new 240-kilovolt (kV) transmission line 1181L from the existing Josephburg 410S Substation to the approved ATCO Power Lamont 400S at the Heartland Generating Station. AltaLink has proposed a preferred route for the 1181L Transmission Line as well as a preferred variant route which can be seen on the attached map. The project also includes upgrades to the existing Josephburg 410S Substation and modifications to the existing 807L, 997L, and 1120L transmission lines. Additional information about the applications For full application details visit the AUC website, log on to the eFiling System, enter the proceeding number and select go. The project includes: Construction of one single-circuit 240-kV transmission line (1181L) approximately 5.6 kilometres in length to connect ATCO Power’s approved Lamont 400S Substation to the existing Josephburg 410S Substation.

  • About Invasions of Roman Empire
    CK_4_TH_HG_P087_242.QXD 10/6/05 9:02 AM Page 110 II. Europe in the Middle Ages Ireland is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west and the Irish Sea on the east. The Irish Sea separates Ireland from England and Wales. The North Channel lies between Northern Ireland and Scotland. England is separated from France and Europe by the English Channel, a body of water that connects the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. Its northern end is called the Strait of Dover, and north of that is the North Sea. The North Sea sep- arates northern England and Scotland from Norway, Denmark, and other coun- tries in northwestern Europe. The English Channel is 300 miles (483 km) long and is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean. At its narrowest, the Channel is 21 miles (34 km) wide and at its widest, 112 miles (180 km). The fact that Great Britain is an island has been of great strategic importance in its history. After William the Conqueror and his Normans attacked in 1066, no army has invaded it since. Separated from Europe, Great Britain was able to insulate itself from some of the political and social movements that swirled across Europe. B. Background Invasions of the Roman Empire Teaching Idea The Middle Ages progressed directly out of the Roman Empire.
