Essay examples: *Don’t use this essay exactly, just use it as a reference to sculpt your own essay I don’t want us all to get a zero for having the same essay and getting written up for plagiarism* -Anthony 1. There were multiple factors that allowed the Carolingian empire to thrive during the ninth century. It was the largest western territory since the Roman empire fell. The Carolingian military was based on a revolutionary "cavalry revolution" which used horses provided a quick, long-distance method of transporting troops, which was critical to building and maintaining such a large empire. Charlemagne's administration was an attempt to organise the kingdom, church and nobility around him, however, its efficacy was directly dependent upon the efficiency, loyalty and support of his subjects. The Empire, after the death of Charles the Bald, was under attack in the north and west by the Vikings, and was facing internal struggles from Italy to the Baltic, from Hungary in the east to Aquitaine in the west, which lead to the division of the Carolingian Empire. (Renaissance) 2 were numerous factors in this cultural expansion, the most obvious of which was that Charlemagne's uniting of most of Western Europe brought about peace and stability, which set the stage for prosperity. This period marked an economic revival in Western Europe, following the so-called Dark Ages that had come about in the former Roman lands after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Local economies in the West had degenerated into largely subsistence agriculture. One of the major causes of the sudden economic growth was the slave trade. Instead of being a rebirth of new cultural movements, the period was more an attempt to recreate the previous culture of the Roman Empire. Most likely our multiple choice below: Fall of Rome “in the west” Decline and fall – Gibbon- He thought it was because of Christianity “235-632” beginning and end dates of the Late Antiquity- Study of religion, continuity Bryan Ward-perkins- decline of Rome and civilization- Rome did actually fall Peter Brown235 is crisis of the third century 632 is the death of Mohammed 235-285 Military incursions on the borders, unstable political time, debasement of the currency Battle of Milvian Bridge: Maxentius 476- Fall of the Roman empire in the west Anthony the Great Anthony the Abbot Saint Anthony Mary of Egypt 711 al-anclalus (muslim society) Barbarians Saxons, Visigoths, ostragoths, Lombards, franks, 530s benedict's rule >Rules of prayer, labor, reading 843: Treaty of Verdun
